dagger
A dagger is a short, pointed blade used for stabbing, distinct from a kitchen knife or sword
Meaning
A dagger is a short, pointed blade used for stabbing, distinct from a kitchen knife or sword. In conversation it commonly represents weapons, violence, or danger, and can signal aggression or a threat, sometimes playfully. It often appears in contexts involving fantasy, combat, or role-playing, and can stand in for betrayal, as in a figurative stab in the back. It is also used for knife-related hobbies such as collecting or cooking with blades. Because it can read as either menacing or joking, tone depends heavily on context.
Dagger — Approved as part of Unicode 7.0 in 2014.
