Outbox tray Emoji

Objects

A white tray with an arrow pointing upward and outward, indicating that an item is exiting the container. It represents the digital process of sending data or correspondence.

Usage Context

Used to denote sent messages, outgoing mail, or documents that have been successfully transferred. It is the functional opposite of the 📥 inbox tray emoji and serves as a visual confirmation that an action has been completed.

History

This icon became a standard feature of early graphical email clients and desktop operating systems in the 1990s. It was designed to mimic the physical 'out' baskets found on office desks to make digital interfaces more intuitive for early computer users.
