dagger

🗡️ The dagger is a short, sharp weapon often used in close combat or assassination. As an emoji, it typically represents danger, attack, conflict, or threat, and can also symbolize courage, dueling, or historical battles. In internet culture, the dagger is sometimes used to convey a sense of betrayal, as in "stab in the back," or to indicate sharp criticism. Its emotional tone is generally negative, associated with violence, tension, or hostility, but in some contexts, it can represent resilience and determination.
