What Does the ๐ pushpin Emoji Mean?
A pushpin seen at an angle, red head and visible point. Fixing something in place is the whole idea, borrowed from noticeboards where a pin marks what matters. Software took that metaphor wholesale, and pinning a message, a post or a browser tab is now vastly more common than pinning any actual sheet of paper.

About pushpin Emoji
Usage: Pinned messages and posts use it as a label, which is its dominant job. Lists use it to flag an important item. Location sharing borrowed it too, although the round map pin is the better character for that, and people mix the two up regularly without anyone much minding.
Encoded in Unicode 6.0 in 2010 from Japanese carrier sets, where stationery and office objects were well covered. The pushpin arrived before pinning became a standard interface action, so the emoji predates the software convention that now defines it.
