fax machine
This is the fax machine emoji. You can use it to send a copy of a document to another location using a telephone line.
It's mainly used in offices or government agencies to send official documents. Before email, it was a very important means of communication.
📠
Nowadays, it has become a machine that is rarely used, pushed aside by email and messengers. Therefore, it can symbolize "old technology" or "frustratingly slow office procedures."
Still, in some countries like Japan and Germany, fax machines are used importantly in government offices. So, it's mentioned as an interesting case of an analog method persisting in the digital age, or used when making a joke about being "behind the times."
