Common Misunderstandings of đŠī¸
Misinterpretation as just "bad weather"
While it indicates bad weather, it specifically points to lightning and thunder, not just rain or clouds.
Tip: If you mean general bad weather without lightning, consider using đ§ī¸ (cloud with rain) or âī¸ (cloud) with other weather emojis.
Overuse for minor frustrations
Using đŠī¸ for slight annoyances might overstate the emotion. It implies a significant level of anger or intensity.
Tip: For mild frustration, consider emojis like đ (angry face) or đ¤ (face with steam from nose).
