It is a common shorthand for non-disclosure agreements, private email threads, or digital security, often paired with 🔒 or 🔐 to emphasize protected information.
History
Added in Unicode 6.0 in 2010, the locked with pen emoji was designed to bridge the gap between traditional security imagery and the growing need for icons representing digital signature authentication and secure correspondence during the rise of encrypted messaging apps.
