Rolled-Up Newspaper 🗞️

This emoji depicts a newspaper tightly rolled into a cylinder, typically shown with visible print text and often a slight curve or twist to emphasize the rolled form. The design captures that classic image of a newspaper bundled for delivery or storage, with visible newsprint texture.

Beyond its literal use for discussing rolled newspapers, this emoji carries nostalgic connotations—it evokes childhood memories of paper routes and morning deliveries. People use it when discussing old-school media, print journalism's decline, or anything retro and analog. It's also used humorously in contexts about "old news" or outdated information.

The rolled-up form adds a layer of meaning that the flat newspaper emoji doesn't quite capture: it suggests something that's been wrapped up, finished, or put away. You might see it in jokes about "rolling with the punches" or wrapping something up, though these uses are less common than straightforward news references.

Approved as part of Unicode 0.7 in 2010, this variant offers a more dynamic perspective on the newspaper, distinguishing it from the flat broadsheet version. Its design emphasizes the tactile, physical nature of print media in a way that feels distinctly vintage.
