About
The Books emoji (๐) is the perfect little stack of knowledge that says 'I'm being studious' or 'time to hit the books.' Whether you're flexing your literary side, announcing a study session, or just trying to look intellectual in your Instagram story, this emoji bridges the gap between 'I should read more' and 'look at me actually reading.'

This emoji has been around since Unicode 6.1 in 2011, making it one of the original educational emojis that helped establish the 'objects' category before we had more specific school and academic symbols.
One emoji wins every day. Will this one best tell the story of 12/29/25? Get rewarded for guessing right.
