How to use scene symbols
Scene was the bright, loud cousin of emo in the late 2000s: side fringes, rainbow hair, leopard print and MySpace pages full of decorated text. Its symbols come from that keyboard era. Stars ☆ ★ and hearts ♡ ღ framed every name, xX_ _Xx put an x on both sides, and :3 or x3 ended every comment. ღ is a Georgian letter that happens to look like a heart, and 彡 is a Japanese character that turns ☆ into a shooting star.
The MySpace text art group has the long decorations people still search for, such as .•°¤*(¯`★´¯)*¤°•. and «-(¯`v´¯)-«. They are built from ordinary characters — ¤ ° ¯ ¸ — so any phone shows them. Emo is the darker side of the same scene: black hearts 🖤, broken hearts 💔 and roses 🥀 instead of rainbows, and the emo combos keep them together.
For a display name, keep it short: xX_ Mia _Xx or ~*~ Mia ~*~ fits most limits. The @handle takes only letters, numbers, dots and underscores, so the frame can go there too — but handles are saved in lowercase: xx_mia_xx. The emoji at the end — 🦖 for “rawr”, 🐼, 🌈 — come out in colour.
Questions
What are scene symbols?
The decorations of the 2000s scene look: stars ☆ ★, hearts ♡ ღ, music notes ♪ ♫, the xX_ _Xx frame and emoticons like :3 and x3. Many come from MySpace profiles, where people built whole borders out of ¤ ° ¯ ¸.
What is the difference between scene and emo?
They grew up together. Emo is darker and sadder — black, broken hearts, roses — while scene is bright and playful, with rainbows, dinosaurs and leopard print. The symbols overlap, which is why both are on this page.
What does rawr x3 mean?
“Rawr” was a scene greeting, half joke and half flirt, and x3 is a face with squinting eyes and a cat mouth. The 🦖 emoji goes with it because of the old line “rawr means I love you in dinosaur”.
Can I use these in a TikTok or Instagram name?
Not in the @handle, apart from the letter frame, which turns lowercase there — xx_name_xx: handles take only letters, numbers, dots and underscores. In the display name and the bio, every symbol on this page works.
