Pound banknote Emoji

Objects

A stack of British twenty-pound banknotes, usually depicted in a purple hue. The design captures the distinct rectangular shape of the paper currency used across the United Kingdom.

Usage Context

Used to discuss financial transactions, shopping in London, or simply showing off wealth. It is frequently sent alongside the 💰 or 💸 emojis to emphasize spending or earning, and is the go-to choice for anyone referencing prices in Great Britain.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of the initial wave of currency symbols. It was included to give international users a specific way to represent the British Pound, which was previously limited to the text-based pound sign (£) found on standard computer keyboards.
