Everyday Object Symbols
Object symbols represent everyday items, tools, and artifacts in text form. From scissors and pencils to telephones and mailboxes—these functional symbols add clear visual meaning to any message and work consistently across all platforms and devices.
Object symbols bridge the gap between plain text and visual communication. A mail symbol instantly means email. A phone symbol means call. A scissors symbol means cut. They work as compact visual shortcuts in documentation, instructions, signage, and social media—communicating ideas faster than words alone.
Our objects collection includes writing tools, communication devices, cutting tools, office items, and various miscellaneous symbols. Unlike object emojis that render differently per platform, these text symbols display consistently everywhere. Use them in email signatures, document formatting, instructional content, and creative text designs.
Pro tip: text object symbols are especially valuable in professional documentation where you need consistent, cross-platform icons. They print cleanly in black and white and maintain their appearance regardless of the operating system or application used.
Everyday Object Emoji for Faster Messages
Phones, laptops, wrenches, books, lamps and keys — the object icons on this page are pictographic Unicode characters, each a single code point that copies as text and then renders as a small coloured picture in your platform's own emoji font. Send a wrench from an iPhone and it appears in Apple's drawing; the same code point shows Google's version on an Android device.
Because the artwork is platform-specific, an object can look a little different from one screen to the next, though the meaning stays clear. These icons are useful for compressing a message: a book for study notes, a lightbulb for an idea, a lock for privacy, a bag for a shopping run. Browse by electronics, tools, office supplies, household items or accessories, then click to copy and paste into a caption, chat, checklist or bio wherever a word could be swapped for a quick visual cue. Keep in mind that an older phone or a stripped-down desktop font may lack the newest additions, so a very recent object icon can surface as a blank rectangle on devices that have not updated.
