What 📠 means

A fax machine with paper coming out. It stands for faxing, and more often for outdated office technology.

People use it to mock slow, old-fashioned processes: “they want me to fax the form 📠.” Some fields, like health care, law and government offices, still fax documents, so it also appears literally in those settings.
