A tear-off calendar showing a specific date. Emoji

Objects

A classic desk-style calendar featuring a stack of paper sheets with a perforated edge. A single red date is printed on the top page, typically set to the 17th to honor the day the first major emoji set launched.

Usage Context

Used to denote appointments, upcoming deadlines, or to highlight a specific day in a conversation. It serves as a visual shorthand for scheduling tasks, checking a date, or counting down to an event. It is frequently sent alongside 📅 to distinguish between a general calendar and a specific daily reminder.

History

Debuting in Unicode 6.0 in 2010, this design traces its lineage back to the original Japanese mobile carrier sets. It replicates the analog desk calendars once common in offices before digital scheduling software became the industry standard.
