What 🎖️ military medal means
Six characters for winning. 🏆 marks any victory, work included; 🥇 ranks items in a list as often as it awards anything; 🥈 and 🥉 get used self-deprecatingly for near-misses. 🎖️ is a military decoration and reads oddly outside that context. The three podium medals were added together in Emoji 3.0, released in 2016.
Unicode tags this one award, celebration and medal and files it under Activities → Award Medals.
