Meaning
A desktop fax machine with a telephone handset on its side and a sheet of paper feeding through it. It stands for sending a printed page over a phone line, once a fixture of every office.
Now it mostly signals anything bureaucratic, slow or outdated, or teases someone about old habits: “They still want the signed form faxed 📠 in this economy?” It sits naturally beside 📄 and 🗂️ when people grumble about paperwork.
