Unlike the 😍 (heart-eyes) emoji, which expresses love, the 🤩 (star-struck) emoji is more suited for showing admiration, awe, or great excitement. It can also express positive shock, as in "I can't believe it!"

This emoji visually represents a dreamlike state of being completely captivated, much like the English expression 'starry-eyed.' For fans, it can symbolize the overwhelming joy of a dream-come-true moment, like successfully getting concert tickets or the release of a long-awaited game.
