History & usage: The character depicts the RIGHT HAND TELEPHONE RECEIVER. In messages, it can signal a phone call, a need to contact someone, or ringing or voicemail nearby. Use this emoji to indicate calling a friend or colleague in casual chats. It also fits UI contexts such as a phone‑based help line, a contact button, or a call reminder in calendars. Another use is signaling call history or professional domains where phone outreach matters, like customer support or sales notes. When used in interfaces, pair it with text to avoid ambiguity and keep tone clear. Across platforms, appearance varies by app and font; ensure accessibility by providing surrounding descriptive text so users understand the intent even without color or detail.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F57D in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
