What 👛 means from a girl or a guy
The same character carries a different intent depending on the sender and the message before it.
What 👛 means in other countries
A small coin-purse icon that splits along dialect lines — US English treats “purse” as a handbag, UK English doesn’t.
“Purse” commonly means the whole handbag, so the small coin-purse image can feel like a mismatch.
“Purse” specifically means the small wallet for coins and cards, matching the emoji closely.
Before you send it: If precision matters, pair it with words — the emoji alone reads differently depending on which English you’re using.

Chat apps do not change U+1F45B, they change what it looks like and what people take it to mean.
Where the 👛 Purse emoji came from
This one is older than Unicode emoji: Japanese carriers were drawing it on their handsets years before the standard existed, which it finally joined in 2010.
Same character every time — U+1F45B never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.
Long before Unicode had emoji, Japanese carriers shipped their own picture sets.
👛 existed there as
NTT DoCoMo E70F, KDDI au E504.
Those codes are why it survived into the standard at all — Unicode had to keep Japanese messages readable.
Purse was approved as U+1F45B and shipped in Emoji 0.6 (2010). Emoji 0.6 is the original 2010 batch that came over from the Japanese sets.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 👛 is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
