Sensible and rational use of such characters can elevate a Meta description and make it stand out from competing messages. If a Meta description is similar to all of the others in the SERPs, consider punctuating the message with a relevant symbol.

It can improve CTR, having a direct impact on traffic and, in the long run, rankings also.

yes, they do.

You will stand out from the rest of the SERPs but they must be used sensibly and not just start flooding every page. So, yes but don't spam them
