Meaning and Interpretation
📏 This emoji is basically the "let's be precise" or "measure this" icon. You can use it to talk about actual measurements, like height or project dimensions. But it's also perfect for when you're setting some ground rules or calling out someone's behavior – like, "You're way out of line 📏" or "This needs to be more precise 📏". It’s a simple, no-nonsense way to say something is standard, linear, or just plain straight.
