Post Office Emoji 🏤

What 🏤 means

🏤 Meaning: A vertically rectangular creamish building with a brown roof and a big yellow 'Post Horn' on the wall, a glass door below it that is accompanied by a window on either side. There's a shorter building behind this main one with a column of windows on either side as well.

The 🏤 Post Office emoji is the design of a typical European post office (given the post horn). But, thanks to Euro-centrism, this emoji is a generic representation of any post office around the world. It suggests a way of keeping in touch with people before the advent of social media.

How and when to use it

If you're on the way to the post office to post an important mail, you can use 🏤 while texting someone about it or, if you're the type to share routine on social media, then on social media stories/posts too.
A post office symbolizes the OG way of sending mails, much before Gmail stole the show. So, you can use 🏤 to represent this emotion. For instance, "Nothing electronic could beat the joy of stamping posts 🏤".
If you visited a historic post office and you're sharing pictures and/or videos of the same on your social media profile or as a direct message (DM), then you can use 🏤 in those captions/text messages.
🏤 can be used in common themes such as 'public service', 'posting', 'post cards', 'stamp collections', etc.
Since posting mails has become a thing of the past with electronic mail, 🏤 can also be used to signify nostalgia.
