Open book Emoji

A thick, hardcover book lying open with its pages spread wide. The pages typically feature thin, horizontal lines to mimic lines of text, signaling that the book is ready to be read.
Usage Context
Used to represent reading, schoolwork, storytelling, or deep research. It is frequently sent when someone is buckling down to study, recommending a good novel, or referencing a specific piece of literature. It is often paired with emojis like 📚 for a collection of books or ✍️ when discussing the act of writing.
History
The open book was added to the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of the initial wave of pictographs intended to bridge the gap between traditional Japanese mobile carrier icons and international text communication systems.
