A pushpin used to attach papers to a bulletin board or wall. Emoji

Objects

A sharp metal pin with a flat, rounded red head, tilted at an angle as if it has just been pressed into a surface. It is designed to hold documents or notes in place on a cork board.

Usage Context

Used to denote a specific location on a map, pin a post to the top of a social media thread, or highlight an important message that shouldn't be overlooked. It is often used alongside the 📍 pin or the 📎 paperclip to categorize organizational tasks.

History

While the modern thumbtack was invented in the early 20th century by Edwin Moore, the emoji version arrived with Unicode 6.0 in 2010. It quickly became a staple for digital organization, reflecting the transition from physical office cork boards to digital project management tools.
