That is Live Text symbol, see this Apple article: Use Live Text to get information in photos and images

How can I remove it?

You can turn in Off.

To turn on Live Text for all supported languages, go to Settings > General > Language & Region -> turn Live Text ON or OFF.

do you ever ship trackable things via USPS? If you do then take a photo of it. You can then tap that icon and tap on the tracking number and voilà! You are getting a tracking update.

Thats just one of the gazillion things I'm sure you can do with it.

Or just don't use it. I'm not being facetious, just offering an opinion.
