A checkbox showing a <a href="/check-mark/" title="✔️ Heavy Check Mark">check mark</a>&nbsp;inside the box. Not to be confused with the similarly named&nbsp;<a href="/ballot-box-with-ballot/" title="🗳 Ballot Box With Ballot">Ballot Box With Ballot</a> emoji, though Samsung did originally include a ballot box as part of this emoji&#39;s design.

This emoji is not supported in Twitter names, possibly in an attempt to minimize confusion with a verified checkmark.

Ballot Box with Check

A hand holding a <a href="/pen/" title="🖊 Lower Left Ballpoint Pen">pen</a> or <a href="/pencil/" title="✏️ Pencil">pencil</a> and writing. Most often shown as holding either a blue or black pen, though Microsoft&#39;s design has a red pen. LG&#39;s design displays a left hand, while all other platforms show&nbsp;a right hand. Used broadly to represent writing.

Also used between words to show that a lesson is being learned and to indicate someone is taking notes. For example, ✍️look✍️both✍️ways✍️before✍️you✍️cross✍️the✍️street. This use&nbsp;was popularized in <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/what-happens-in-the-tiktok-comments/">TikTok comments</a>. It uses the established practice of placing emojis between words for emphasis. Possibly influenced by the emphatic use of <a href="/clapping-hands/">👏 Clapping Hands</a>, which reflects speech-gesture pairings in Black English in the United States.

Writing Hand

A person wearing a suit, hovering above the ground with a shadow displayed beneath them. Generally shown wearing a fedora or similar style of hat.

This character was originally <a href="https://www.babelstone.co.uk/Blog/2013/10/whats-new-in-unicode-70.html">introduced</a> into the Webdings font as an &ldquo;exclamation mark in the style of the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rude_boy" title="Wikipedia : Rude boy">rude boy</a> logo found on records by&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Specials" title="Wikipedia : The Specials">The Specials</a>&quot;.&nbsp;This&nbsp;levitating&nbsp;man was known as Walt Jabsco.

Man in Business Suit Levitating

A paper tray with an <a href="/up-arrow/">up arrow</a> on top, as a symbol for an <a href="/e-mail/">email</a> outbox. Generally depicted as a white or wooden tray with a red arrow pointing upwards. Facebook&#39;s design contains paper.

May be used for various digital activity, including uploading, messaging, emailing, ordering, and sharing.

Google&rsquo;s design <a href="/google/android-8.0/outbox-tray/">previously</a> featured&nbsp;a blue arrow and contained&nbsp;paper.&nbsp;Samsung&rsquo;s arrow was <a href="/samsung/experience-9.0/outbox-tray/">previously green</a>.

Compare <a href="/inbox-tray/">📥 Inbox Tray</a>.

Outbox Tray

A paper tray with a <a href="/down-arrow/">down arrow</a> on top, as a symbol for an <a href="/e-mail/">email</a> inbox. Generally depicted as a white or wooden try with a red arrow. Samsung and Twitter&#39;s&nbsp;arrows are&nbsp;green,&nbsp;WhatsApp&#39;s gray.

May be used for various digital activity, including downloading, messaging, and emailing.

Facebook&#39;s design contains paper, as did an earlier&nbsp;<a href="/google/android-8.0/inbox-tray/">Google</a>&nbsp;design.&nbsp;

See also <a href="/outbox-tray/">📤 Outbox Tray</a>.

Inbox Tray

A ballot box, as used to cast votes in an election. Depicted as a box, generally blue or gray, with a slot on top through which a paper ballot is being inserted. Many platforms display a&nbsp;<a href="/cross-mark/">cross mark</a>&nbsp;or <a href="/check-mark/">check mark</a> on the ballot to indicate a vote, though Apple and Facebook leave theirs blank.

Commonly used for various content concerning voting and elections, especially in politics and government.

Ballot Box with Ballot

A white piece of paper with text written on it by a yellow <a href="/pencil/">pencil</a>, positioned over the sheet, tip down, at a 45&deg; angle. Commonly used for content concerning various types of documents and writing, including signing (in sports).

WhatsApp and Facebook&rsquo;s designs depict an old-fashioned office <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorandum">memorandum</a> on pink paper. Apple&rsquo;s suggests an informal note with the easter egg of handwritten text from its 1997&ndash;2002 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_different">Crazy Ones/Think Different</a> ad campaign: Here&rsquo;s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes&hellip;

Not to be confused with <a href="/page-facing-up/">📄 Page Facing Up</a> or other emojis featuring sheets of paper.

Memo

A sign on a post, commonly used to promote ideas, causes, or make announcements. Often used used in the context of politics to represent a lawn sign or a poster brought to a protest. Also seen in commercial advertising.

Shown with indiscernible writing or not writing at all, this emoji is flexible in its use. WhatsApp shows a peace sign, which tilts the meaning away from commercial use.

Placard

A <a href="/check-mark/" title="✔️ Heavy Check Mark">check mark</a> that displays a white outlined appearance. Shows&nbsp;on most platforms with a bright green rounded rectangle or circle surrounding it.

Android <a href="/google/android-4.4/check-mark-button/" title="✅ White Heavy Check Mark on Google Android 4.4">previously</a> displayed this as an outlined blue check mark / blue tick.

This emoji is not supported in Twitter / X names, possibly in an attempt to minimize confusion with a verified checkmark.

<div id="professor_prebid-root">&nbsp;</div>

White Heavy Check Mark

A thick&nbsp;check mark / tick&nbsp;displayed on some platforms in a handwritten style.&nbsp;Generally displayed in black. Commonly used in lists to signify completed tasks&nbsp;or verification of a statement of fact.

Previously shown in <a href="/samsung/experience-9.0/check-mark/">red on&nbsp;Samsung</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="/google/android-8.0/check-mark/">green on Google</a>&nbsp;and <a href="/microsoft/windows-10-anniversary-update/check-mark/">Microsoft</a>.&nbsp;

Note: this emoji is not supported in Twitter / X names,&nbsp;to minimize confusion with a verified checkmark. <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/why-you-cant-use-these-emojis-in-your-twitter-name/">Learn more here</a>.

See also:&nbsp;<a href="/check-mark-button/">✅&nbsp;Check Mark Button</a>,&nbsp;<a href="/check-box-with-check/">☑️&nbsp;Check Box with Check</a>.

The letters&nbsp;OK, shown enclosed&nbsp;in a square.&nbsp;Meaning <a href="/ok-hand/" title="👌 Ok Hand Sign">Okay</a>, denoting approval. The opposite of the <a href="/ng-button/" title="🆖 Squared NG">Squared NG Emoji</a>.
