💴Yen Banknote Emoji
The yen banknote emoji 💴 carries the codepoint U+1F4B4 and has been in the standard since Unicode 6.0 (2010). It belongs to Objects → Money.
What 💴 yen banknote means
Pay day, prices, bills and jokes about being broke. 💸 is the one that carries feeling, since a banknote with wings is about money leaving rather than arriving, while 💰️ suggests a windfall. Only four banknotes exist, covering yen, dollar, euro and pound, a set fixed early and never extended, so most world currencies have no emoji at all.
Unicode tags this one bank, banknote and bill and files it under Objects → Money.
