Anachronicons 3

Telephones haven't looked like this for a long time:

Telephone icon
But if you search for a telephone emoji in a Unicode font, you're likely to find something much like that. In fact, mining for "telephone" in the Unicode character set delivers a rich seam of nostalgia:
  • TELEPHONE SIGN, U+2121
  • TELEPHONE RECORDER, U+2315
  • BLACK TELEPHONE, U+260E
  • WHITE TELEPHONE, U+260F
  • TELEPHONE LOCATION SIGN, U+2706
  • TELEPHONE RECEIVER, U+1F4DE
  • LEFT HAND TELEPHONE RECEIVER, U+1F57B
  • TELEPHONE RECEIVER WITH PAGE, U+1F57C
  • RIGHT HAND TELEPHONE RECEIVER, U+1F57D
  • WHITE TOUCHTONE TELEPHONE, U+1F57E
  • BLACK TOUCHTONE TELEPHONE, U+1F57F
And my favourite:
  • TELEPHONE ON TOP OF MODEM, U+1F580
