Double curly loop Emoji

Symbols

A stylized, interconnected blue loop that forms a figure-eight pattern with a small center. It resembles the physical tape of a vintage cassette or a representation of an endless winding track.

Usage Context

Widely recognized as the standard icon for voicemail on smartphones and digital answering machines. It is used to signal a recorded message or to direct someone to listen to their inbox, often appearing alongside 📞 or 📼.

History

Adopted into Unicode 6.0 in 2010, the design was directly inspired by the 'voicemail' iconography found on early mobile phone interfaces, specifically those used by Japanese telecommunications providers to indicate a saved audio message.
