Frame with Tiles refers to a proposed or historically discussed pictographic symbol concept associated with the early Unicode emoji-expansion era, especially the period when many desktop, interface, and Wingdings-style symbols were being evaluated for broader pictographic use. It appears to have represented a framed rectangle containing a tiled or mosaic-like pattern, suggesting a picture frame, gallery view, collage, grid layout, or decorative wall panel. Although related visual ideas became common in emoji culture through the framed picture emoji and image-related symbols, Frame with Tiles did not become a widely supported, officially approved RGI emoji on modern emoji keyboards. It is best documented as a Unicode-style symbol concept rather than a mainstream Apple-style emoji.
