floppy disk
The floppy disk emoji is a storage device used in old computers. It's rarely used now.
You can often see this emoji as the 'save' button icon in computer programs. That's why it's also used to mean 'to save.'


💾
Many in the younger generation don't know why this shape became the symbol for 'save.' It's an interesting case where the technology has disappeared, but its shape remains as a widely used icon.
In the past, people would save homework or games on this small disk to share with friends. Now, it's also used metaphorically to mean 'saving a memory' or 'storing information.' For example, when talking about a good memory with a friend, you could say, 'Saved in my heart 💾.'
