Objects

A sharp, red-headed pin with a metallic point, designed to stick into a surface to hold a paper or mark a specific spot. It is modeled after standard office stationery used for pinning notices to bulletin boards or tracking points on a wall map.

Usage Context

Widely used in digital messaging to signify a physical location, a meeting point, or to highlight a specific piece of information. It acts as a digital bookmark for directions, often shared alongside a map link or paired with 🗺️ or 📍 to help someone find where you are currently standing.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2010, the round pushpin grew popular as mobile devices integrated GPS technology. Before it was a digital marker for location services, the pushpin was a staple of analog office life, essential for keeping track of logistics on physical corkboards and paper charts.
