Common Misunderstandings of 📚

Misinterpretation as a single book

While it represents books, 📚 specifically shows multiple books, implying a collection or extensive reading, not just one book.

Tip: If you mean a single book, use 📖 (open book) or 📕 (closed book).

Overuse for general information

Using 📚 for any piece of information might be too specific if it doesn't relate to books or formal learning.

Tip: Reserve 📚 for contexts where books, reading, education, or extensive knowledge are implied. For general information, consider 💡 (light bulb) or â„šī¸ (information).
