Telephone receiver emoji meaning
The telephone receiver emoji shows the earpiece of a traditional landline phone, often displayed in either red or black. It symbolizes communication, phone calls, and staying in touch with others.

It can be used in conversations to represent making or receiving calls, or more generally to talk about telecommunication. This emoji is a nod to classic technology that still plays a role in how we connect with one another today.
