radio
A classic, upright telephone receiver, typically black, with a curly cord extending from its base. It represents a traditional landline phone.
There are different emoji meanings for radio in different cultures:
- Western culture
- Often associated with business calls, older technology, or direct, non-mobile communication. Can imply a formal conversation.
- East Asian culture
- Similar associations, but may also be used in contexts where landlines are still prevalent or for a sense of 'being connected'. Less common than the mobile phone emoji.
