Common Misunderstandings of 🛄
Misunderstanding: It means any kind of luggage
While it depicts a suitcase, the 🛄 symbol specifically refers to the baggage claim area or checked luggage. For general luggage or packing, the 🧳 (luggage) or 🎒 (backpack) emojis are more appropriate.
Tip: Use 🛄 for the airport location, and 🧳 for the bags themselves.
