DescriptionThe Unicode character ☏, or U+260F, is known as the "White Telephone". It falls under the "Miscellaneous Symbols" block and the "Other, Symbol" category in the Unicode standard. The white telephone symbol is commonly used to represent a phone number or the act of making a telephone call. It depicts an old-style, rotary dial telephone set, the kind that was common before the advent of touch-tone dialing. The handset, composed of the earphone (top) and the microphone (bottom), is positioned over the rotary dial with the dial depicted as a small circle. The symbol is outlined, thus referred to as "white" or unfilled.
