How it works

The phone text symbol is ☎︎: Black telephone, U+260E, with the text-style selector, so it prints in the color of your words. With it are ☏, ✆ and ℡, the phone emoji, contact rows on a sample number, and combos.

Read the full guide

One character, two looks

U+260E can be drawn two ways. Followed by the selector U+FE0E it is a small black phone that behaves like a letter. Followed by U+FE0F it is the emoji. ☏, ✆, ℡ and ℻ have no emoji form at all, so a signature, a CV or a name field that refuses emoji will take them.

Numbers that reach no one

The contact rows use numbers between 555-0100 and 555-0199. That range is reserved in North America for made-up numbers in films and adverts. Type your own number over the sample.

  • CLDR files phone under nine emoji, and one of them is Selfie.
  • Unicode 7.0 has more plain phones, such as Black touchtone telephone. They draw as empty boxes without a special font, so they are left out.

How this list was compiled: Names, code points, sequences, skin tones and Emoji version numbers come from Unicode's emoji-test.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); item names are the CLDR short names with a capital. Search words are the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml, main branch). Text forms come from emoji-variation-sequences.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt) and the names of plain characters from UnicodeData.txt and NamesList.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt, https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt). Phone is a search word of nine emoji, the selfie among them, and fax of one. The four plain signs (White telephone, Telephone location sign, Telephone sign, Facsimile sign) have no Emoji property in emoji-data.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt); their ages are from DerivedAge.txt. Unicode 7.0 also has receivers and touchtone telephones that are not emoji (U+1F57B to U+1F581); they are left out because a device without a font for them draws an empty box. The numbers in the contact rows are samples from 555-0100 to 555-0199, the range reserved in the North American Numbering Plan for non-working, fictitious numbers used by advertising and entertainment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_telephone_number, wikitext read 2026-09-30). The contact rows and the combos with their names are this site's own.
