What ♌️ Leo means
Astrology posts, dating bios and the running joke of blaming a personality trait on a birth month. People deploy their own sign as a label and other people's signs as accusations. The set has thirteen members rather than twelve, because Unicode also encodes Ophiuchus ⛎️, a constellation the sun passes through that standard Western astrology leaves out.
Unicode tags this one horoscope, leo and lion and files it under Symbols → Zodiac Signs.
