Emoji (ENVELOPE): meaning and Unicode code

Usually ✉️ is used to show mail, writing and sending a message at a distance.

With ✉️ we usually use ✉️, 📬, 📨. Together they make the message clearer and more expressive.

Emoji like 💌, 📩, 📮 can play a similar role to ✉️. They work when you want a similar meaning with a different image.

For example: "The letter, delivery and transmission of the message itself are important here ✉️" or "The symbol immediately shifts the conversation to the topic of mail and sending ✉️."

✉️ works best when you need to show a letter, mail, sending, receiving a message, or the very fact of delivery of information.

In chat, ✉️ usually means "this is about mail and sending", "the message is important" or "we are talking about delivering the letter".

Its deeper meaning often comes from context: mail emoji often mean not only an envelope, but the expectation of a response, distance and the very ritual of communication through a message.

✉️ is called email; in Unicode it is U+2709 U+FE0F. It belongs to the "Objects" category.
