On TikTok: On TikTok in 2026, the 🤛 is probably going to be layered with ironic sounds like the 'This is fine' dog meme audio, or a sped-up, slightly distorted version of a 'struggle' sound, like 'It's not that deep' or 'I hate it here.'

Flirty context: Not typically flirty on its own. If it *feels* flirty, it's probably the context of the entire conversation and how much you like them, rather than the emoji itself. It can be a very low-key 'I appreciate you' which *could* be a component of flirting, but it’s not overt.
