What ๐ซ๏ธ means
On a real US-style mailbox, a raised flag tells the carrier there is outgoing mail to collect. In emoji use, most people read it simply as 'mail' or 'new message.' It appears next to email addresses, in newsletter signups, 'check your inbox' messages and posts about sending letters or packages.
