curly loop ➰ - OzVoca Emoji Details
curly loop
This loop-shaped emoji is used to express something spinning or to represent curly hair. It can also depict a tangled piece of thread or ribbon.
You can use this emoji when a road is blocked and you have to take a detour, or when your thoughts are tangled and complex. Try sending it with a message like, 'My thoughts are a mess.'
This emoji originally comes from a symbol on Japanese road signs that indicates a freeway interchange. That's why it's also used to mean 'take a different route' or 'detour.'
Although it started with road signs, it's now also used to allude to unexpected turning points or changes in plans in life. It can be used creatively in both positive and negative contexts, like 'My plans got totally messed up' or 'Let's try a new direction.'
