What it is and where it’s used: Rolled-Up Newspaper is part of the Symbols family (block: Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: ROLLED-UP NEWSPAPER depicts a rolled-up newspaper. It can be used to represent news, updates, or alerts in messages. It can symbolize research, reading, or documentation in chats. It can indicate a quick scan of articles or a summary of information in UI prompts. The appearance can vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so designs differ in color and style. Use emojis thoughtfully in UI and text; keep intent clear and avoid ambiguity in formal content. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning. Cross-platform, the emoji may render differently; provide readable text as needed.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F5DE
in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
