I love the little "copy" icon with the square inset in the second square. I love it because everyone just Agreed on it. Every phone app and every website just uses this same icon. It's not like the share icon where you have to guess which square with an arrow means "share", or the various ways a website might draw a paperclip for "attach". The copy emoji, we just, we made a decision. As a species. We picked an icon. Problem: this icon is not in emoji. There's a copy emoji and it's a clipboard

@mcc Most email clients draw the paperclip for "attach" and the chain (?) icon for "insert link" almost identically! I'm always confusing one oblong for the other :(
