postbox
A public mailbox, typically shown as a rounded red box with a slot for letters
Meaning
A public mailbox, typically shown as a rounded red box with a slot for letters. It commonly represents mail, sending letters, or postal services, and often appears in contexts about correspondence, deliveries, or checking for messages. It can also stand in for email or inbox notifications, though a phone or envelope is more usual for digital mail. In some regions the design resembles a specific national postbox, so viewers may read it as local postal infrastructure. Usage is generally neutral; it rarely carries strong emotion, though it can suggest anticipation of news or a pending reply.
Postbox — Approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010.
