Frequently asked about closed emojis

What's the difference between 🔒 and 🔐?

🔒 locked shows just a closed padlock. 🔐 locked with key adds a key visible in the lock, suggesting 'access available with the right credential'. 🔒 is used for general security or privacy; 🔐 implies authenticated access or 'I have the key'.

Why are there two closed-mailbox emojis (📫 and 📪)?

📫 closed mailbox with raised flag means 'mail is waiting to be picked up' (US convention where raised flag signals outgoing mail). 📪 closed mailbox with lowered flag means 'no mail activity'. They were inherited from early Japanese and US carrier emoji sets and preserve those signal conventions.
