This emoji goes beyond the simple device setting of 'vibration mode' to also represent a state of 'I need to focus now' or 'I don't want to be disturbed.'

It also symbolizes important etiquette in the digital age. Using vibration instead of sound in public places or important settings is a considerate act. Therefore, this emoji's meaning has expanded to include 'manner mode' or 'consideration mode.'
