Dense Caption

The icon features a solid black teardrop shape with a smooth curved outline, positioned slightly off-center to the right. The teardrop has a white highlight on its left side, creating a subtle three-dimensional effect. The background consists of a soft gradient blending light pink and gray tones with visible pixelation. The icon's edges are defined by a thin black outline that follows the teardrop's contour. The overall image has a low-resolution, pixelated appearance typical of early digital graphics.
