Facsimile Sign Letter
℻ is the facsimile sign used to suggest a copied or transmitted reproduction.
U+213B
The facsimile sign ℻ (U+213B) is a decorative character that also communicates a “copy” or “facsimile” idea. It’s commonly used in typography, UI labels, and document-related layouts. Here’s how to copy it and include it reliably in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Facsimile Sign Letter Meaning
The facsimile sign (℻, Unicode U+213B) is used to represent a facsimile—an exact or near-exact copy of a document, typically transmitted or reproduced. In practice, you’ll see it in headings, button labels, or icons to convey “send/receive as a copy,” “reproduction,” or “document transmission.” Because it’s a stylized Unicode character, it can work well in branding, templates, and settings where you want a compact symbol rather than a full word like “FAX” or “facsimile.” Its meaning is mostly about indicating a copied/reproduced document context rather than general “copying” in software.
Common uses
- •Document templates to label “facsimile” or reproduced copies
- •UI buttons or menu items for “send as facsimile” actions
- •Printed or digital forms that reference copied/transmitted documents
- •Icon-style typography for “copy/reproduce” sections in newsletters
- •Branding elements for communication or archive services
