Pocket Calculator refers to a calculator-shaped symbol concept that appeared in Unicode and emoji-candidate discussions around the era when many office, computer, and everyday-object pictographs were being evaluated for emoji use. While the idea fits naturally beside objects such as a desktop computer, printer, keyboard, or abacus, it never became a widely supported, officially recommended color emoji on major emoji keyboards. It is best understood as a Unicode-style symbol or proposed emoji concept rather than an Apple-approved emoji with standard iOS artwork. People may have wanted it to represent math, budgeting, accounting, schoolwork, taxes, engineering, statistics, or the act of โdoing the numbers.โ
