Factory emoji meaning

The factory emoji is a graphical symbol that represents a large building or group of buildings where industrial processes take place, such as the production of goods, the processing of raw materials, or the manufacturing of products. It is typically depicted as a rectangular structure with several windows, smoke or steam rising from its chimneys, and sometimes with a conveyor belt or other machinery visible. In terms of its appearance, it is meant to resemble the type of industrial complex that one might see in an urban or suburban setting. It is often used in text messages and social media posts to convey a sense of industry or hard work, or to reference a specific type of business or economic activity.

The factory emoji was approved in Unicode 6.0 and added in Emoji 1.0, see related proposal L2/09026L2/07257
