ladder
ladder meaning
A ladder, added in Emoji 13. 0. It stands for climbing, reaching higher and getting to things out of reach. Figuratively it is the career ladder, the property ladder, and every other ladder people are told to climb. That metaphorical use is easily as common as the literal one, and rather more loaded.
