There's been lots of discussion about the unicorn over the years. Here's Ben commenting on another Devs post with his thoughts:
Unicorns typically represent an especially positive connotation in our industry. Unicorn devs, unicorn companies, itβs the things that are wonderful.
Emoji reactions are always a bit abstract and I made no effort to dictate the purposes.
One thing to note: Iβd like to have a longer list of reaction types you can choose from like in Slack, just havenβt gotten around to building that out, or even describing it to others.

A unicorn is something that is highly desirable but difficult to find or obtain.
When you apply that to DEV posts, I see it as reading a piece of information that I would find valuable to me.
So, the use of the unicorn icon is up to interpretation (probably on purpose). I think itβs a great symbol for expanding ideas and creativity.
// , It's another meaningless emoticon.
Why assign meaning to symbols when we can just float on in endless equivocation snurgle breep?
