Pager

Description

The pager emoji (📟️) depicts a retro-style communication device, often seen with a small screen and buttons, symbolizing a bygone era of instant messaging. While once indispensable for on-the-go professionals in the 80s and 90s, it now evokes nostalgia and represents simplicity in communication. Frequently used in discussions about technology evolution or vintage culture, it’s a playful reminder of how far we've come. Interestingly, pagers are still in use today in niche fields like healthcare, demonstrating their enduring practicality. The emoji version is 0.6, released in 2015.
