About
The Open Mailbox With Lowered Flag emoji (📭) is the digital equivalent of that deflated feeling when you check your mailbox and find absolutely nothing—not even junk mail. It's the universal symbol for 'crickets in the inbox,' whether you're complaining about radio silence from a crush, highlighting your tragic lack of birthday cards, or dramatically announcing that nobody loves you (at least not via postal service).

Did you know?
The lowered flag is actually a real postal system feature—mail carriers raise the flag when they deliver mail and lower it when the box is empty, making this emoji surprisingly accurate to actual mailbox etiquette.
