Closed book Emoji

Objects

A thick, hardbound book shown from the front with a bright red cover. It features a visible spine and pages tucked away, signaling that the book is currently shut.

Usage Context

Used to denote topics involving reading, education, or research. It often serves as a shorthand for finishing a chapter, heading to the library, or referencing a specific textbook. It pairs well with 📖 for open books or 📚 when you need to represent an entire shelf of material.

History

Part of the original Japanese emoji sets developed in the late 1990s, the closed book was a staple for mobile users to quickly convey school-related activities or office tasks. It was later standardized in Unicode 6.0 in 2010 to ensure universal cross-platform rendering.
