Meaning and Interpretation
๐ This is your go-to emoji for anything 'business' or 'professional'. It screams 'I have a meeting', 'it's interview day', or 'I gotta look sharp'. It's the digital equivalent of putting on your work clothes. Use it when you're talking about your job, getting dressed up for a fancy event, or just flexing that you're a grown-up with responsibilities (even if you feel like you're winging it). It can also mean something is very official or traditional.
