U+2706 "✆" Telephone Location Sign Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2706 "✆" Telephone Location Sign is a graphic symbol representing a classic telephone handset inside a circle or an outlined rectangle, which historically indicated the presence of a public payphone or a telephone facility at that specific location. Originally part of the Wingdings and Webdings fonts, this character was encoded in the Unicode standard under the Dingbats block to provide a digital representation for telecommunication signage. Its design varies slightly across different fonts, but the core iconography remains unmistakably linked to a fixed telephone point, making it useful for mapping, wayfinding, and retro-themed user interfaces.
