file folder

This emoji shows a yellow folder used to organize and store documents or files. It's great for when you're organizing something.

You can use it when referring to files for school assignments or office work, or to show that you are "organizing" information.

Since it looks just like a folder icon on a computer desktop, it's primarily used to refer to digital files or data. It's a great substitute for text when asking a friend to "send the project file."

Its closed appearance gives it a nuance of "storage" or "a plan not yet revealed." Unlike the open folder (📂), it can symbolically represent a systematically organized collection of information or a future project.
