file folder 📁

Is a computer folder or an actual file the subject of your conversation? The File Folder emoji is the one to use. Also known as the file emoji, this emoji shows you a picture of a folder with a tab either on the left or right side. Since it works as a file symbol in contexts relating to computers, computer files, or documents stored on an electronic device, you may use this in relaying company or school instructions, writing how-to guides, among other scenarios that may need texts to be more visually engaging.

On top of the universal computer file image and all the meanings it carries, the folder emoji can be used to depict the literal object that it represents—an actual folder that comes in colors blue, gray, orange, or yellow depending on the platform.

Sending this out to colleagues, groupmates on a school project, or friends would certainly help you give emphasis to the folder that you’re talking about, regardless if that is a folder on a Google Drive, a company server, or a file stored in a file cabinet in the office.

It would also be helpful to note that this emoji is different from another similar emoji called the Open File Folder emoji. The open folder emoji, when you look closer, is the same emoji but slightly opened. You may choose either one, however, the file folder emoji may be the most iconic between the two.

📁 File Folder is a fully-qualified emoji as part of Unicode 6.0 which was introduced in 2010.
