What Does the ๐ customs Emoji Mean?
An officer behind a counter inspecting a bag, the customs sign used in airports worldwide. Wayfinding is its whole job: it has to be understood by somebody tired, in an unfamiliar terminal, who reads none of the local language, which is why the two figures are abstracted almost to stick form. Nothing in the artwork depends on words.

About customs Emoji
Usage: Travel posts use it, usually about the crossing itself rather than the destination. Import and shipping content uses it accurately, where customs is a process with real cost attached. It also marks any moment of being checked or questioned, which gives it a mild comic register in non-travel contexts.
Encoded in Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and given emoji presentation in 2015, among the airport signage from Japanese carrier sets. Those sets covered travel infrastructure thoroughly, which is why passport control, baggage claim and left luggage all have their own characters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ๐ show?
An officer inspecting a bag at a counter, which is the standard international customs sign. Travellers who read none of the local language are expected to understand it on sight, and generally do.
What is the difference between ๐ and ๐?
Function, and they happen at different points. Customs checks goods while passport control checks people and their documents. Both have their own characters, drawn from the same set of airport signage.
Why do so many airport signs have emoji?
The Japanese carrier sets covered travel infrastructure unusually thoroughly. Passport control, baggage claim, left luggage and customs all arrived together as recognisable wayfinding symbols rather than as concepts.
