I've been here since October of 2019, and I'm still wondering. What are unicorns on DEV?

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, it’s 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: I’d like to have a longer list of reaction types you can choose from like in Slack, just haven’t 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 it’s 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?
