About 3rd place medal Emoji
Usage: Sports results use it literally, and leaderboards use it to mark third in any ranking. The self-deprecating use is common, awarded for a creditable but unremarkable showing. List posts counting down a top three use it as well, the three medals together doing the formatting work.
Encoded in Unicode 9.0 in 2016, arriving with the gold and silver medals as a set. The older sports medal, which names no placing, had existed since 2015, so for a year there was an award emoji but no way to specify where anyone had finished.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do bronze medallists often look happier than silver?
Research into Olympic podiums has repeatedly found this. Bronze winners compare themselves to fourth place and feel relief, while silver winners compare themselves to gold and feel the near miss.
When were the numbered medals added?
In 2016, all three together. The unnumbered sports medal had arrived a year earlier, so for a time there was an award emoji with no way to indicate placing.
What is the difference between 🥉 and 🏅?
Specificity. The bronze medal names third place, while the sports medal names no position and works for any achievement at all.
