📯Postal Horn Emoji
📯 postal horn — U+1F4EF, added in Emoji 1.0 (2015). Unicode groups it with the other 9 sound emojis under Objects.
What 📯 postal horn means
Volume states, announcements and notification talk. The four speaker glyphs 🔇 through 🔊 read as a ramp, so people use them to mark something getting louder or to warn that a clip needs sound on. 📢 and 📣 head up announcements and calls to action, while 🔔 borrows its meaning from the notification bells built into YouTube and most apps.
Unicode tags this one horn, post and postal and files it under Objects → Sound.
