This emoji goes beyond simple navigation to symbolize life values or making the right decisions. It's great for talking about important principles or beliefs, as in "What is my life's compass?"

The compass is an old invention that uses the principle of magnetism to find direction. That's why this emoji can also signify a spirit of exploration or new discoveries. It sometimes appears in the lore or concepts of K-pop idols as a symbol, like a "guide for lost youth."
