Linked paperclips used to hold multiple sheets of paper together. Emoji

Objects

Two silver-colored paperclips hooked together at an angle. It shows the classic wire-loop design used for binding stacks of documents without the permanence of a staple.

Usage Context

Used to represent attachment, teamwork, or the act of linking two distinct things together. It is a frequent choice when discussing file attachments in emails or coordinating projects, often appearing alongside 📎 or 📁 to signify digital or physical organization.

History

Added in Unicode 7.0 in 2014, this emoji was introduced as part of the expansion of office-themed icons. While the individual paperclip has been a staple of desk culture for over a century, this linked version reflects the evolution of document management in early computer operating systems, where the paperclip icon became the universal visual shorthand for an 'attachment' button.
