The newspaper emoji comes flat and rolled: 📰 Newspaper, U+1F4F0, from Emoji 0.6, and 🗞️ Rolled-up newspaper, from Emoji 0.7. No other emoji is filed under news in CLDR, Unicode’s list of search words.
Read the full guide
Flat or rolled up
Unicode cross-references the two characters and notes the rolled one with a single word, news. For a rolled up newspaper emoji take 🗞️: U+1F5DE followed by U+FE0F, in Unicode since version 7.0. It has a text style, which may still show in colour; 📰 has none.
No journalist, magazine or article emoji
No emoji name and no CLDR search word is journalist, reporter, magazine, article or headline, and the only emoji under press is 💪. So a journalist emoji, a magazine emoji and an article emoji are combos here: Journalist is 📝🎤📰, Magazine 📖📸. By Wiktionary paper alone is short for newspaper, so a news paper emoji is 📰 too.
Questions and answers
What does the newspaper emoji mean?
News, or reading it: CLDR’s four words for 📰 are communication, news, newspaper and paper. By Wiktionary a newspaper is a publication with news and other articles, usually out daily or weekly.
Is there a newspaper symbol in plain text?
Unicode names no character for a newspaper besides the two emoji. The stand-ins here are ¶, which Unicode notes as paragraph sign, for an article, and Han characters: 報, report, and 刊, publication, by the Unihan database.
Which emoji says great news?
None by itself: the one emoji CLDR files under great is 👏 Clapping hands. The combo Great news puts 🎉 after 📰, and the line 📰 Great news: ___ leaves a blank for the news.
