What writing emojis are used for
Drafting, editing and note taking. 📝 is the workhorse, used for homework, to-do lists and the reply that just says taking notes, while ✏️ suggests something provisional and still open to change. The fountain pen and black nib carry a more formal weight and turn up around signatures, contracts and poetry. 🖍️ reads as childlike or deliberately unserious.
