History & usage: TELEPHONE ON TOP OF MODEM depicts a device icon that combines a telephone with a modem to symbolize telephony and internet hardware. In chat or emails, it can represent a phone line, a modem-based connection, or a tech support topic about networks. In UI labels or help text, use it to mark settings related to internet access, home networking, or device pairing. It can also hint at connectivity status in dashboards or status indicators. Use it thoughtfully to avoid ambiguity in formal content and ensure the intended meaning is clear. Across platforms, appearance may vary in color and style, and accessibility should rely on surrounding text to convey the exact meaning.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F580 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.
