Copo de nieve

⁓ 2744 FE0E text style ⁓ 2744 FE0F emoji style

A snowflake is a water droplet that turns into an ice crystal as it falls down to earth from a cloud. It is said that no two snowflakes are the same, a symbol for being unique and special. Means let is snow, winter, cold weather, or I'm frozen. An emoji that undoubtedly grew in popularity after Disney's movie "Frozen" was released in the winter of 2013. Elsa's magical power.
