What 📴 mobile phone off means
Playback controls used literally and as metaphors alike: ⏸️ for pausing a plan, ⏭️ for skipping ahead, 🔁 for something happening all over again. 📶 signals reception or, by extension, being unreachable. Several of these are text-default characters that need the variation selector U+FE0F after them to appear in colour, which is why they sometimes render as plain black outlines.
Unicode tags this one cell, mobile and off and files it under Symbols → Audio & Video Symbols.
