What Does the ๐ฎ postbox Emoji Mean?
A postbox with a rounded top and a collection slot, drawn red on most platforms. The shape is Japanese rather than British or American, which catches people out: the character comes from a vocabulary built around Japanese street furniture, and several other everyday objects in the set share that quietly local origin. Most users have been sending a piece of Japanese street furniture for years without ever noticing.

About postbox Emoji
Usage: Post and mail references use it. Its more common life is as a submission marker, where sending something off is the metaphor, in forms and applications and anything being filed. Nostalgia posts use it too, since physical post has become unusual enough to be worth remarking on.
Encoded in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. Japanese postboxes are red, as are British ones, but for unrelated reasons: Britain settled on red in 1874 after green boxes proved too easy to walk past, which is the kind of problem that only becomes obvious after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the postbox look unfamiliar?
The design is Japanese, since the emoji vocabulary was built around Japanese street furniture. Several other everyday objects in the set have the same quietly local origin.
Why are British postboxes red?
They were green until 1874, when it turned out people were walking straight past them. Red was chosen for visibility and has stayed ever since, which is a fairly practical origin.
What does ๐ฎ mean figuratively?
Submitting something. Forms, applications and anything being sent off borrow it, which is now a more common use than any reference to actual physical post.
