Emoji Meaning
1
A 3.5-inch floppy disk — a small removable disk that was inserted into a computer’s floppy drive to store and transfer files. Once ubiquitous, it’s now largely obsolete.
2
The floppy disk — often shown as a small square icon or emoji — was a common data storage device in the 1990s. Its capacity was tiny, only enough for text documents, so you couldn't fit music or a movie on it. Today, its image is used everywhere as the universal "save" symbol.
In chats and messages, the floppy disk emoji is used only in a figurative sense, since floppy disks haven't been in use for a long time. It typically means saving — for example, saving your game progress or a document or file.
