curlcurlydoubleloop

What ➿ means

Two joined loops, like a stretched figure eight. In Japan it is the mark for Free Dial, the toll-free phone numbers that start with 0120; elsewhere it has no fixed meaning.

Japanese ads, shop signs and websites put it in front of a free-to-call number. Outside Japan, people use ➿ as a decorative flourish, a sideways figure eight or a stand-in for ♾️.

Its shape looks like the voicemail icon on many phones, so some readers take it that way. ➰ is the single-loop version.
