What 🎓️ graduation cap means
Fit checks, packing lists, dress codes and shopping hauls lean on this set, with 👑 and 💎 doing double duty as compliments rather than as literal jewellery. The billed cap 🧢 arrived in 2017 with Emoji 5.0 and was later borrowed wholesale by English slang, where cap means a lie and no cap means the speaker is being straight with you.
Unicode tags this one cap, celebration and clothing and files it under Objects → Clothing.
