U+1F57D "🕽" Right Hand Telephone Receiver Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1F57D "🕽" Right Hand Telephone Receiver is a typographic symbol representing a classic handset from a rotary or early push button telephone, specifically shown as a receiver held in the right hand, typically with a curled cord attached and the earpiece and mouthpiece aligned vertically. It belongs to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block and was added to the Unicode Standard in version 7.0, released in June 2014, primarily for use in historical, telecommunication, or retro interface contexts. Unlike the more common telephone emoji, this character is often depicted in a more literal, less stylized manner and is not widely supported across all platforms or fonts, appearing as a plain icon in many text environments. As a result, it is rarely used in modern digital communication and is more likely encountered in specialized documentation, vintage themed user interfaces, or text based diagrams representing phone systems.
