The backpack emoji is part of a group that includes coin purses, handbags, luggage, and briefcases. On various platforms, this emoji appears in a range of colors and styles, with LG’s looking like a rectangular, red box and WhatsApp’s being a more realistic version, an orange bag with straps and zipper compartments.

Some claim there is a need for more adult versions, both a hiker’s backpack and a more “street” kind of backpack, which is used widely by young people everywhere.

This emoji was first approved under the name “school satchel” as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
