Celebratory and slightly formal. It works for toasts, promotions and congratulations, and it is the more polished choice beside 🍻.

Its visual roots
Two champagne flutes tilted into each other at the moment they meet. It is one of the few food characters drawn as an action, which is why it reads as celebrating rather than drinking.

When to use it
Using 🥂 clearly

Not always. Its usual readings are cheers emoji, new year emoji, champagne emoji, and irony or the relationship between the people can flip any of them.
What does 🥂 mean from a girl or from a guy?
The same thing either way: Two champagne flutes meeting mid-toast, drawn as the moment and not the drink. The sender's gender does not change what the character means. What does change it is how well you know each other, what the rest of the message says, and whether either of you is being ironic.
