What Does the ๐ cyclone Emoji Mean?
A blue spiral, tightening toward a centre. It is the Japanese weather map symbol for a typhoon rather than a generic swirl, which explains the colour and the direction, and it is one of several characters whose original meaning is entirely invisible to anyone who has never watched a Japanese forecast. What it became instead has nothing to do with weather at all.

About cyclone Emoji
Usage: Storm and hurricane coverage uses it correctly. Its far larger use is as a sign of dizziness or confusion, borrowed from the manga convention of drawing spirals for eyes when a character is dazed. Posts about being overwhelmed use it that way, and so do a great many about spiralling thoughts.
Encoded in Unicode 6.0 in 2010 from Japanese carrier sets. Typhoon, hurricane and cyclone all describe the same kind of storm, with the name depending entirely on which ocean it forms over, which is why one symbol can cover all three without any inaccuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ๐ originally mean?
A typhoon, from Japanese weather maps. The blue spiral is a forecast symbol rather than a generic swirl, which is invisible to anyone who has not seen a Japanese broadcast.
Why is it used for dizziness?
Manga draws spirals for eyes when a character is dazed or confused. That convention carried into emoji use, and the dizziness reading now outweighs the meteorological one.
Are typhoons and hurricanes different?
Only in name. The same storm is called a hurricane, typhoon or cyclone depending on which ocean it forms over, so one symbol covers all three without any inaccuracy.
