✏️

Pencil Emoji ✏️

What ✏️ means

An upside-down pencil facing to the left, in such a way that the sharpened led in at the bottom, continued with a short yellow body and ending in a metal rim that has a round piece of rubber attached to it.

First, above anything else, the ✏️ Pencil emoji signifies childhood; the time when we used pencils the most. Secondarily, this emoji could suggest sketching, drawing, rough ideas, erasability, and something that's not concrete.

How and when to use it

Anything written with a pencil is easy to erase. Hence, ✏️ may also be used in the contexts of something erasable. For example, "I may not be able to erase the past, but I sure can rewrite the future ✏️".
Pencils make mistakes easier to fix; no damage done to the paper, nor to the content. So, you may also use ✏️ while talking about mistakes either in a post caption or a textual conversation. Like, "It's alright to make mistakes, man, as long as you learn from them ✏️".
Since pencil writing is easy to fade/erase, ✏️ could also signify that something is not final or concrete. For instance, "We've just made pointers. Nothing's settled yet ✏️".
If you're posting or reposting some happy and good-vibes content about schooling, childhood, etc, you could use ✏️ in the caption.
Use ✏️ in the caption even while sharing artistic posts or reposts related to drawing, sketching, and any other art that uses a pencil (including shavings).
