This emoji is becoming increasingly popular, especially among younger users. It is often used on social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. This emoji is generally not considered to be rude, but its meaning may depend on the context in which it is used.

The history of this emoji dates back to 2010, when it was added to the Unicode Standard. It was included as part of the Unicode 6.0 update, which also introduced other popular emojis such as the smiley face and the thumbs up. Since then, it has become a popular way to express a location or journey on social media.
