How it works

The note emoji is 📝 Memo, U+1F4DD, from Emoji 0.6. It is the memo emoji too: CLDR, Unicode’s list of search words, files it under memo, notes, pencil, media and communication, and nothing else under memo.

Pencil and paper, pen and paper

Pencil is one of Memo’s five words, so 📝 is the pencil and paper emoji; a pencil writing emoji with no paper is ✏️. For taking notes or writing notes, the emoji to add is ✍️ Writing hand, the one filed under write. A pen and paper emoji is a combo: 🖊️📃.

No journal, form or sticky note emoji

Nothing is filed under journal, diary, form, assignment, paperwork, sticky or task. The nearest journal emoji is 📔 Notebook with decorative cover, and a task list emoji is 📋 Clipboard, the one emoji under list. A sticky note emoji, a form emoji, an assignment emoji and a paperwork emoji are combos here: Sticky note is 🟨📌.

Questions and answers

What does the note or writing emoji say?

Nothing that Unicode sets. It gives the character a name, Memo, and no text: its files hold no note for it. What is drawn on the page is each font’s own picture.

Is the note emoji a music note?

Not this one. CLDR files nine emoji under note, and Memo is not among them: three are music, 🎵 🎶 🎼, five are money, and one is 🗒️ Spiral notepad, the note pad emoji, which Unicode notes as note, empty calendar.

Is there a paper note emoji without the pencil?

🗒️ Spiral notepad or 📄 Page facing up. For a letter or a message, the paper emoji 📄 goes before ✉️ or 💬. Unicode also names three plain characters Note, Note page and Note pad, U+1F5C8 to U+1F5CA, which may show as empty boxes.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-09 from sources read that day. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers are from the Unicode emoji list, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); names are the CLDR short names printed in that file. Search words are from the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml and https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotationsDerived/en.xml). Memo is U+1F4DD, Emoji 0.6, in the group Objects, subgroup writing, between Crayon and Eraser (Emoji 18.0). CLDR gives it five words (communication, media, memo, notes, pencil) and files no other emoji under memo or media; under note it files nine emoji (Musical score, Musical note, Musical notes, the four banknotes, Money with wings, Spiral notepad), under notes three (Musical notes, Memo, Clipboard), under list Clipboard alone and under write Writing hand alone; no emoji name and no CLDR search word is journal, diary, sticky, form, assignment, homework, paperwork or task.
