Note Page was a proposed or discussed document-style emoji concept, generally understood as a sheet of paper meant for notes, reminders, lists, or written messages. It never became an officially approved emoji under the specific name βNote Page,β and users today usually substitute emojis such as π Memo, π Page Facing Up, π Page With Curl, or ποΈ Spiral Notepad. The idea fits the wave of practical object emojis considered in Unicode and emoji discussions around the early-to-mid 2010s, when everyday communication symbols were being expanded for mobile keyboards.
The intended meaning would likely have included note-taking, studying, office work, documentation, reminders, journaling, and βnote to selfβ comments. Online, it could have been useful for captions like βtaking notes,β βwrite that down,β βreceipts,β instructions, lists, or quietly calling attention to important information. Its appeal came from being more neutral than the existing Memo emoji with a pencil, allowing users to represent a plain note or page without implying active writing.
There is no widely recognized official Apple or Unicode design for a separate Note Page emoji. In concept art or mockups, it would likely have resembled a clean white or pale paper sheet with horizontal gray or blue writing lines, possibly a folded corner, simple shading, or a minimal iOS-style document icon appearance. Some interpretations might make it look like a loose notebook page or a small written note, but any such design should be understood as conceptual rather than an Apple-approved emoji glyph.

Emoji History The emoji code/ image log of changes.
This emoji was one of the "suggested emojis" the Unicode group unveiled in June 2014 [article], however, it has been, and still is, up to the companies who support emoji in their operating systems to provide not only images but also an algorithm to replace the emoji code into the emoji image.
