The envelope emoji and five more
The six are Envelope, E-mail, Incoming envelope, Envelope with arrow, Outbox tray and Inbox tray. Unicode notes Envelope with arrow as sending mail, and CLDR files Inbox tray under zero. For a you’ve got mail emoji, Closed mailbox with raised flag is noted as mailbox containing mail.
Envelope symbol as text
U+2709 has been in Unicode since version 1.1 and has two styles, emoji and text. Envelope, text style is the envelope symbol text a signature or a contact line takes; some apps draw the emoji anyway. The inbox symbol is 📥, Inbox tray. No key types either, so a keyboard envelope symbol is pasted in.
Questions and answers
What is the difference between ✉️ and 📧?
✉️ is U+2709, Envelope, which Unicode notes as sealed envelope and CLDR files under email and letter. 📧 is U+1F4E7, named E-mail symbol; CLDR files it under mail as well, and Unicode notes that the picture may have an E, not an @ sign.
What is the emoji code or keyboard shortcut for email?
The code points are U+1F4E7 for 📧 and U+2709 for ✉, which becomes the emoji with U+FE0F after it. Code page 437 has no envelope; by Wikipedia, some apps take Alt+9993 for ✉, and some turn 1F4E7 into 📧 when Alt+X follows it.
Is there a typed emoticon for e-mail?
No standard one, so this page types its own with plain keys: [\/] is an envelope seen from the front, and -=[\/] is one on its way.
