This emoji has the letter 'E' on it, so it means e-mail. It's used when you send or receive a digital letter.
It's more modern than the envelope emoji (✉️) and directly refers to emails sent via computer or smartphone. You can often see it when talking about work or online news.
📧
The design, which looks like it has wings, symbolizes the fast speed of email delivery. So, it's perfect for situations where you're conveying quick news, like "I just sent the email!"
It was inspired by the icons from the early days of the internet in the 90s that notified you of a new email. So, while it's a familiar emoji to the younger generation, for the parents' generation, it might feel like an exciting notification symbolizing 'new mail' itself.
