Paycheck Emoji

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). Unicode has no emoji named paycheck: no emoji name, no CLDR search word and no character name in UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), holds paycheck, paycheque, cheque, payday, payslip, salary, wage or payroll. CLDR files pay under three emoji (Money with wings, Credit card and Heavy dollar sign), paid under two (Money-mouth face and Money bag), check under the three check marks, stub under Ticket alone, employed under Necktie alone, job under Clapping hands and Office building, and receipt, invoice, accounting and bookkeeping under Receipt alone (U+1F9FE, Emoji 11.0). The one character Unicode names for a bank cheque is U+2447, OCR amount of check (every other name with the word check is a check mark, a ballot box or a SignWriting movement), which Unicode’s names list (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt) notes as amount; that the line of magnetic ink characters is at the bottom of cheques and that this symbol delimits a transaction amount is from Wikipedia, Magnetic ink character recognition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_ink_character_recognition, CC BY-SA 4.0).

That a paycheck (paycheque or pay cheque in British and Commonwealth English) is by tradition a paper cheque that an employer issues to pay staff, that it has been increasingly replaced by direct deposit to the employee’s bank account, and that a payslip or pay stub comes with it, is from Wikipedia, Paycheck (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paycheck, CC BY-SA 4.0). That paycheck is pay (wages or salary) plus check (a means of payment), that payday is the day on which wages or salary are paid, that a pay packet is a sealed envelope containing a person’s wages, that a direct deposit goes straight from the source into a bank account, that salary comes from the Latin salarium, wages, from sal, salt, with no ancient evidence that soldiers were paid in salt, and the Mandarin and Japanese words, are from Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/paycheck, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/payday, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pay_packet, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/direct_deposit, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/salary, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/薪水 and https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/給料, CC BY-SA 4.0).
