An open book with a blue cover — sometimes shown with a bookmark — represents this emoji. It's commonly used when talking about reading, studying, learning, writing, or research.
An open book can convey both literal and figurative meanings. Literally, it refers to reading and studying; figuratively, it can describe someone's character — a person who is open and whose behavior is easy for others to understand.
