writing

This sub-group gathers emojis of pencils, ballpoint pens, fountain pens, quills, paintbrushes, crayons and memo pads—anything used to put words or images on a surface. They are handy when you want to show the act of writing, studying, working on notes or engaging in creative activities. Because the imagery evokes pen and paper, the emojis can also be used metaphorically for signing contracts, brainstorming ideas or sketching drafts. In digital chats they offer a quick visual cue for thought, creativity or being in the middle of learning.
