The Tight Snowflake symbol (❅) is a typographic ornament representing a classic six-pointed ice crystal with closely packed branches. Originally introduced in the Zapf Dingbats font collection, it was later adopted into Unicode to standardize decorative characters across platforms. Today, it is widely used to add a festive, wintery aesthetic to social media posts, holiday greetings, and as an elegant custom bullet point.
