FAQ

Email symbols, answered

Do email symbols work in Gmail and Outlook?

Yes. These are standard Unicode characters, so they display in Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and most modern clients on both desktop and mobile. Text-style glyphs (✆ ☎ ✉ ▸ •) are the most reliable; full-colour emoji also work but can render slightly differently between clients.

How do I add an email or phone icon to my signature?

Click the icon you want (✉ for email, ☎ or ✆ for phone, 🌐 for website, 📍 for address) to copy it, then paste it at the start of each line in your email signature. Text-style glyphs keep a clean, professional look and won't clash with your signature's font colour.

Will symbols in a subject line send my email to spam?

A single, relevant symbol is generally fine and can lift open rates. The spam risk comes from overuse — multiple flashy emoji, ALL CAPS, and spammy words together. Use one tasteful symbol that matches the message, and keep the rest of the subject line clean.

What's the difference between an email symbol and an email emoji?

Text symbols (✉ ☎ ▸ —) are monochrome glyphs that inherit your text colour and stay subtle, which suits professional signatures and bullets. Emoji (📧 📱 🔥) are full-colour pictographs that grab attention, which suits subject lines and casual reactions. This page includes both.
