A rounded pin with a red teardrop head, styled after the marker an app drops on a map rather than a tack on a corkboard. It's the one for location, sharing where you are, marking a stop on a route, dropping a pin on an address, while 📌 Pushpin is for pinning content, not pinpointing a place.
What 📍 means
A straight pin with a metallic end and a red ball attached on top. The 📍 Round Pushpin emoji represents the 'location' icon or pin. Hence, signifying a particular place, spot, venue, traveling, and a map. It can also suggest directions and mapping.
How and when to use it
- If you're texting someone you're current location, sending the location itself, or even asking someone about theirs, you can use 📍. For example, "I've been stuck within these walls the whole of 2020 📍. What do you want" or "Where are you?? 📍".
- Use 📍 in the 'venue' section of any post caption or text message to indicate the venue of an event.
- Since 📍 also looks like a dropping or falling pin, you can use 📍 while using the famous pin-drop silence quote anywhere.
- Generally found on virtual maps, 📍 may also be used to indicate 'mapping' in a metaphorical sense. For instance, "Mapping not only meant for atlas. Mind mapping could be used 📍".
- 📍 would also fit perfectly fine even while mentioning the location of a picture, post, repost, etc. Like, "Taken somewhere on the way 📍".
