🏢

Office Building Emoji 🏢

Corporate life is the whole story here, heading to work, stuck at work, or grinding through a 9-to-5, pictured as a plain grey tower of identical windows. It's deliberately generic, built to stand for any workplace, not one in particular.

What 🏢 means

A tall, square-designed structure with multiple rows of glass boxes representing windows, a horizontal protrusion in the lower half, sheltering the entrance to the building, which has three glass divisions.

The 🏢 Office Building emoji represents a generic white-collar office building. It signifies urban infrastructure, city life, and the every day 9 to 5 lifestyle of every white-collar job.

How and when to use it

While texting mom, your long-distance significant other that you're at work or on the way, you can use 🏢 . For example, "On the way to work 🏢, ma. I'll give you a call as I reach".
Use 🏢 while posting a social media story about a blue Monday.
If you purchased a new office, or if you got a new job, you can use 🏢 either while texting someone close about it or while sharing this milestone on social media as well.
You can also use 🏢 to indicate that you're at work or 'DND' over a Whatsapp/Facebook status or even any professional platform that you use for work.
If the picture you're posting on your social media handle needs a quote that aligns with 'work', 'office', 'routine' etc, you can pull in the 🏢 emoji. For instance, "This hustling 9 to 5 is just the beginning to an actual job 🏢".

How it looks across platforms

Seeing a blank box instead of the emoji somewhere? Here's why that happens. Curious why the designs above don't match to begin with? Here's why that happens too.
