From standard to slang
The history of 💰
- 2010
First defined as emoji
According to Unicode’s Emoji Versions data, Money Bag was first defined as emoji in Emoji 0.6, dated 2010. That label is retrospective: Unicode applied it later to the early mobile core it inherited from the Japanese carriers.
- Before the keyboard
Its visual roots
A sack with a currency mark, drawn from the cartoon convention rather than from any real container. The mark differs by platform, which is why it can mean any currency.
- Today
How its use evolved
Deals, salaries and savings talk.
Dates follow Unicode’s official Emoji Versions chart. Versions before Emoji 1.0 are labelled retrospectively. See the history of emoji.

We reached the savings goal 💰
The project secured funding 💰
That repair is going to be expensive 💰
When to use it
Using 💰 clearly
Deals, salaries and savings talk. It lands as money or cash when the rest of the message supports that reading, and it is the surrounding words that do the deciding — so in a sensitive, professional or cross-cultural conversation, say the thing outright as well.
Common questions
About the money bag emoji
What does 💰 mean in a text message?
Money, funding and profit. Financial gain, cost or ambition. It can celebrate income and funding, but can also sound boastful or transactional in personal conversations.
Is 💰 always positive?
Not always. Its usual readings are money, cash, rich, and irony or the relationship between the people can flip any of them.
What does 💰 mean from a girl or from a guy?
The same thing either way: Money, funding and profit. The sender's gender does not change what the character means. What does change it is how well you know each other, what the rest of the message says, and whether either of you is being ironic.
Why does 💰 look different on another device?
U+1F4B0 identifies the emoji; the picture is a font, drawn separately by Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung. Only the artwork changes, never the character.
How do I copy and paste the money bag emoji?

When was the money bag emoji introduced?
