What does ๐ฆ mean from a guy?
When a guy sends ๐ฆ, it often carries a similar 'investigate' or 'expose' vibe as when a girl sends it, but sometimes with a more direct or meme-driven connotation. He might be 'shining a light' on something he finds ridiculous, a funny observation, or trying to get your attention on a specific detail. It's usually not that deep unless he's genuinely asking about a literal flashlight. It's often used for comedic effect or to playfully call someone out.

๐ค From a stranger
From a stranger, ๐ฆ is usually not a green flag. It can feel invasive, like they're 'watching' or 'investigating' you in an unwanted way. Unless it's in a very specific public context (e.g., commenting on a post about a mystery), it's probably best to ignore or block. It doesn't have positive romantic or friendly connotations from an unknown sender and can be creepy.
