What does ๐ Green Book mean?
A closed book with a green cover.

It also helps build colorful book stacks with ๐, ๐ and ๐ in reading recaps.
๐ Green Book is an emoji from the Objects category (books & paper), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010. People use it in messages about education, fantasy, library and reading.
