Bank Emoji
Meaning
A retail bank branch where people can perform money-related tasks. Also a common location to find an ATM. Generally depicted as a gray building with a large dollar sign above its door, though Huaweiβs design shows a yuan symbol instead.
Several previous designs from Google, Samsung, and Facebook included the word βbankβ on the building before replacing it with a large dollar sign.
In Japan, this emoji came to be associated with the slang term bakkureru (βto slack offβ or evade responsibility), due to the βBKβ letters used to represent this emoji in early Japanese emoji sets from Softbank and Docomo. Early Apple designs for this emoji also included the letters βBK.β
