What the 🧢 emoji means
A baseball cap, usually blue. In slang «cap» means a lie, and «no cap» means «I am not making this up» — the symbol carries that meaning far more often than it carries headwear.
Placed after someone’s claim, it calls it a lie; crossed out or paired with «no» it swears the opposite. The slang came out of American rap and travelled with it into other languages, so it is understood far beyond English.

Where the 🧢 emoji is used
The 🧢 smiley copies in one tap and pastes into a chat as text, not as a picture: it is a Unicode symbol, so it works the same in WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and in a post caption. Every platform draws emoji its own way — below you can see how billed cap is drawn in the open Noto, OpenMoji and Twemoji sets.
