How and when to use it
- Letters signify a sense of personalization that can be fulfilled by nobody but the person writing it. If you're referring to this kind of intimacy, you may use ✉️ - "Letters mingle souls more than kisses ever can ✉️".
- Letters involve a certain amount of intricacy when it comes to flowing one's thoughts onto paper. Hence, you may also use ✉️ while referring to that flow in any framework. Like "Sometimes, letters may never make sense, because they hold the chaos with which we write them ✉️".
- Use ✉️ while indicating the tradition of writing letters in a modern internet lifestyle. For example, "Emails and text messages can never match up to the style and feel of handwritten letters ✉️".
- You could also use ✉️ to suggest the act of posting letters in any context. For example, "I remember the time when my gran used to wait for days just to post a love letter to granpa ✉️ and he would wait for long to receive it!".
