Meaning and Interpretation
đ Okay, so this is the universal sign for 'Welcome to the slowest line at the airport, lol.' Seriously though, it's the passport control / immigration emoji. It screams international travel, official business, and sometimes, low-key anxiety about whether you filled out your forms right. People use it when they're posting from the airport, planning a trip abroad, complaining about long lines, or even just flexing about their new passport stamps. It's not the most exciting emoji, but it gets the point across when you're in that 'between countries' mood.
