About the telephone recorder symbol

The symbol is sometimes read as “telephone recorder” and is found in older technical documentation or on device labels. It represents a telephone handset with a recording device, historically used to indicate a telephone answering machine or a line capable of recording calls. Its use has largely been replaced by more modern icons and emoji, but it remains in Unicode for compatibility with legacy systems and standards.
