The Black Telephone symbol (☎) represents a classic rotary or push-button landline phone. Originally added to Unicode for compatibility with early dingbat fonts, it is widely used in print typography, business cards, and contact pages to denote a phone number. While it has largely been replaced by modern phone emojis in texting, it remains a universally recognizable retro icon for voice communication.
