U+260F "☏" White Telephone Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
☏
U+260F "☏" White Telephone is a typographic symbol that represents a stylized, classic rotary telephone handset, typically depicted in a white or outlined form across most digital fonts. Originally included in the Unicode standard as part of the Miscellaneous Symbols block, it is often used in digital communication to denote a telephone number, a call to action, or telephone-related functionality, such as in user interfaces or signage. While its design recalls mid 20th century telephone hardware, its primary modern application is as a functional icon in text based contexts rather than a literal representation of vintage technology.
