Source: Browser Default
U+3020 "〠" Postal Mark Face is a unique and whimsical symbol belonging to the CJK Symbols and Punctuation block, representing a stylized face within a postal cancellation or postmark design. Its origins lie in Japanese postal culture, where it is sometimes used as a playful mascot or decorative element on mail, suggesting a friendly or cheerful personality associated with the delivery service. The glyph features circular eyes and a curved mouth, and while it is officially classified as a postal mark, its anthropomorphic design distinguishes it from purely functional symbols, making it a rare example of a smiling "character" in the Unicode standard.
