Right Speaker with Three Sound Waves was a Unicode symbol concept associated with speaker and sound-control imagery, but it did not become a widely supported, officially recommended emoji in the way that the familiar high-volume speaker emoji ๐ did. It appears to belong to the family of right-facing speaker symbols discussed in compatibility-symbol and emoji-candidate contexts, especially around the era when many older pictographic symbols were being evaluated for possible emoji-style use. The intended meaning would have been high volume, loud audio, sound output, alerts, music playback, or the idea of being heard clearly. It also could have carried emotional meanings such as excitement, hype, emphasis, shouting, or โturn it up.โ
People may have wanted this candidate because volume and speaker icons are universal interface symbols used in phones, computers, games, broadcasts, and accessibility settings. In internet culture, it would have fit captions about loud music, bass-boosted memes, announcements, โlouder for the people in the back,โ or posts meant to feel noisy and emphatic. In proposal charts or monochrome symbol samples, the character would likely be represented as a speaker cone facing right with three curved sound waves radiating outward. If rendered as Apple-style concept art, it might have resembled a glossy gray or blue speaker icon with three clean arcs, but there is no well-known official Apple color emoji design for this exact candidate distinct from the existing ๐ speaker high volume emoji.

Emoji History The emoji code/ image log of changes.
This emoji was one of the "suggested emojis" the Unicode group unveiled in June 2014 [article], however, it has been, and still is, up to the companies who support emoji in their operating systems to provide not only images but also an algorithm to replace the emoji code into the emoji image.
