The Telephone Location Sign (✆) is a classic typographic dingbat that illustrates a traditional telephone receiver. Originally designed for printed directories, maps, and business cards to indicate a phone number or public telephone booth, it now frequently appears in digital contact forms. As a standard text character rather than an emoji, it renders cleanly in monochrome across different fonts without adopting a colorful, cartoonish appearance.
