Envelope Symbol Meaning
The ✉ (envelope) symbol is a classic dingbats character used to indicate sending or receiving messages by mail or email. In user interfaces, it often appears next to contact options, message notifications, or support links to make “email” instantly recognizable. Designers may use it for icons, buttons, and labels where a full “email” word might be too slow or too space-intensive. Writers and marketers sometimes include it in templates to suggest a message, invitation, or direct contact channel. In most contexts, its meaning is straightforward: communication via email or correspondence.
Common uses
- •Email and contact links in headers, menus, or footers
- •Notification badges and “new message” indicators
- •UI icons for messaging, support, or customer service pages
- •Document templates that refer to sending or receiving correspondence
- •Social media graphics or posts that promote contacting via email
