U+1F4F4 · emoji since 2010
The phone with a power-off symbol means switched off and unreachable. It marks digital detoxes, do not disturb, and going offline.
It is the icon for unplugging, the deliberate choice to put the phone down and disappear for a while.
In texting, 📴 does not carry a widely used hidden or slang meaning, so you can usually take it at face value. People send it just as it looks, to add a little visual touch or set the mood of a message. Only a handful of emoji have a separate texting code, and 📴 is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the Mobile Phone Off emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the mobile phone off emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
The 📴 leads off a short phrase, and the rest of the words are written in cipher, every letter disguised as another emoji. Tap decipher to reveal the whole line.
Or make your own cipher in the translator.
