Everyone kinda has a different take on that :D

I like this one though I don't always follow this rule:

I have my own explanation and reasoning for the icons.

For me the ❤ icon means I love the article, the topic it discusses or just the way the information is presented. It is close to my ❤ as some of the aforementioned properties of that particular article has a special place in my ❤.

The 🦄 on the other hand, as 🦄s definitely are; is something unique, special - something you don't see every day. It may be something totally new, something I was supposed to know for ages but didn't, something that made my day or just saved my job. Simply priceless sighting of an 🦄.
