What 〰️ wavy dash means

Emphasis and disbelief, doing the job that repeated typed punctuation does but in colour. ❓️ and ❗️ are the loud versions, while the white pair ❔️ and ❕️ read as softer or purely decorative. ‼️ and ⁉️ are each a single Unicode character rather than two marks typed in a row. 〰️ is used as a divider between lines far more than as a dash.

Unicode tags this one dash, punctuation and wavy and files it under Symbols → Punctuation.

Copy variants
