This emoji signifies more than just a wish-granter; it can also represent a "fixer" who magically solves problems. You can use it to wittily refer to a friend who helps with a tough task or someone with exceptional skills.

Genies originated as spirits called 'jinn' in Arabian mythology, possessing both good and evil aspects. However, thanks to the influence of the Disney animation, they became widely known for their current cheerful and friendly image. As a result, this emoji is often used as an icon for a powerful helper or wish fulfillment.
