U+0095 "MW" MESSAGE WAITING Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

MW

U+0095 "MW" MESSAGE WAITING is a control character originally included in the C1 control code set for use in telecommunication and terminal systems, specifically to indicate that a message, such as a voicemail or text, is waiting for the user. It is not a visible glyph or a printable symbol but a control code that would be interpreted by software or hardware to trigger a notification or update a status indicator. This character is part of the legacy control codes defined in ISO/IEC 6429 and is now largely obsolete in modern computing, though it may still appear in certain data streams or historical character encoding contexts.
