open book
open book meaning
An open book. It stands for reading, learning and being in the middle of something. Figuratively it means transparency — being an open book, with nothing hidden — which is one of the most-used idioms in English and easily the emoji's most common metaphorical sense, well ahead of anything to do with actual reading.
