08 โ€” In conversation

What ๐Ÿ•ด๏ธ means from a girl or a guy

Who sent the person in suit levitating and what came before it change the reading more than the emoji itself does.

From a girl
If a girl sends you the ๐Ÿ•ด๏ธ emoji, sheโ€™s probably commenting on someoneโ€™s work ethic or maybe even playfully teasing them about being overworked. It's not usually a romantic gesture, but could be a lighthearted observation.
From a guy
A guy sending you the ๐Ÿ•ด๏ธ emoji could be commenting on your work, or just generally acknowledging that youโ€™re putting in effort. It's a fairly neutral way to show support or recognition.
How to reply
You could reply with: โ€œSame! ๐Ÿ•ด๏ธโ€, โ€œSend help! ๐Ÿ•ด๏ธโ€, โ€œYou got this! ๐Ÿ•ด๏ธโ€, or โ€œLetโ€™s take a break ๐Ÿ•ด๏ธโ€.

09 โ€” Apps

What ๐Ÿ•ด๏ธ means on TikTok, WhatsApp and Discord

Chat apps do not change U+1F574, they change what it looks like and what people take it to mean.

TikTok & Instagram
Basically, it means someone is working really hard, or theyโ€™re feeling stressed and busy. It's a visual way to express that feeling in a text. In comments and captions it is read the same way โ€” the tone comes from what it sits next to.
WhatsApp
WhatsApp draws ๐Ÿ•ด๏ธ with Apple-style artwork on every phone, so it looks identical for both sides, and holding it lets you pick a skin tone. A message with only ๐Ÿ•ด๏ธ in it is shown enlarged.
Discord & Slack
Both accept the shortcode :man_in_business_suit_levitating:. Discord renders Twemoji, so ๐Ÿ•ด๏ธ looks different there than on your phone.
Outlook & email
Outlook has no emoji picker on desktop โ€” press Win + . or Control + Command + Space inside the message body, or paste ๐Ÿ•ด๏ธ from the copy button above.
