About this emoji
✏️ Pencil is an emoji in the Objects group, writing subgroup, first released in Emoji 0.6 (2010). Emoji 0.6 is the label Unicode gives to characters that became emoji with Unicode 6.0 in 2010, before emoji had version numbers of their own.
It is the character ✏ (U+270F PENCIL) followed by the variation selector U+FE0F, which asks for the colourful emoji style. Without the selector, many systems show a plain text symbol instead.
