A clipboard symbol in plain text
Unicode names one clipboard, the emoji. With the text selector U+FE0E it asks to be drawn flat, though most apps show the emoji anyway. The plain stand-ins are the boxes of a checklist: β Ballot box, β with a check and β with an X, or [ ] and [x] in plain keys.
Clipboard, copy and paste
The other clipboard is where a copy goes: by Wikipedia, copied or cut data stays in a temporary store called the clipboard until it is pasted. Wiktionary gives that as the wordβs second sense, after the board with a clip. CLDRβs words for π are about the board: do, list and notes.
By Wikipedia the earliest clipboards were patented in 1870β1871 and were called board clips.
Questions and answers
What does the clipboard emoji mean?
A clipboard: by Wikipedia a thin, stiff board to write on, with a clip on top that holds the paper, usually held in one hand while the other writes.
Is there a checklist emoji?
No emoji is named checklist, and CLDR files nothing under checklist or todo. The nearest are π and the three emoji filed under check: β , βοΈ and βοΈ. The combo All ticked off puts π before two of the first.
Is there an Alt code for the clipboard emoji?
Not a decimal one: by Wikipedia those reach 65,535 in apps that take Unicode, and π is number 128,203. In apps that accept hexadecimal, typing 1F4CB and then Alt+X turns the code into the emoji.
