📄 Page Facing Up

Emoji Meaning

A white piece of paper, its top right corner curled or dog-eared, with text printed on it, as a business letter or icon for a document on a computer. Commonly used for content concerning various types of documents and writing.

Most platforms indicate text with dark lines. Apple’s design features an easter egg, addressed Dear Katie and signed Take care from John Appleseed with the text of its 1997–2002 Crazy Ones/Think Different ad campaign:

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Early designs from au by KDDI show a slanted document, suggesting this emoji may have been originally intended to represent a digital document being sent electronically.

Not to be confused with 📃 Page With Curl or other emojis featuring sheets of paper.
