What Does the ๐ menorah Emoji Mean?
A menorah with nine branches, the hanukkiah lit during Hanukkah. Nine is the detail that matters: the ancient Temple menorah had seven, while this one adds two, an eighth for each night of the festival and a ninth raised shamash used to light the others and never counted among them. Getting the number wrong is a common mistake in stock imagery, and this character gets it right.
