Object emoji

Clothes, phones, tools, money, books and things around the home.

The object group is the biggest toolbox of symbols: clothes, phones and computers, money, books, tools, medicine and household items. People use them for shopping, work and daily life.

Some objects are used with a meaning beyond the picture, for example a bag of money for success, or a light bulb for an idea. Use them as plain symbols when your reader may not know the extra meaning.
