U+1F4E9 "📩" Envelope with Downwards Arrow Above Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
📩
U+1F4E9 "📩" Envelope with Downwards Arrow Above is a pictographic symbol that depicts a sealed envelope, typically white or golden, with a downward pointing arrow positioned above it, representing the act of sending or receiving an electronic message. It is commonly used in digital communication to indicate an incoming email, a new notification, or the process of file download, and it belongs to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block, originally added to Unicode 6.0 in 2010. The design often carries a positive connotation of connection or receipt, and it is distinct from the similar but arrowless envelope emoji U+2709, as the arrow explicitly emphasizes the direction of transmission.
