Resume symbols are small icons like ☎, ✉, 📍 and 🌐 that you place before your phone number, email, city and website so a recruiter can scan your contact details in two seconds. This hub gathers every contact symbol you need for a CV, a visiting card or an email signature, with ready lines you can copy and edit. Tap any symbol in the grid to copy it, or use Download PNG for a transparent contact symbol png.
We also explain one important rule: resume software (applicant tracking systems) may ignore symbols, so always keep a short text label such as "Phone:" next to the icon.
Contact Symbols by Group

Pick one column and stay with it. A resume that mixes black ☎ with a bright 📧 looks unplanned.

Website Symbol, Web Symbol and Link Symbol
The globe 🌐 is the usual website symbol, web symbol and internet symbol. It tells readers "this is a web address". Put it before your portfolio, shop or company site: 🌐 www.example.in.
The link symbol 🔗 (a chain link) suits profile links, such as a LinkedIn or GitHub address written as plain text. For a GitHub symbol for resume use, write "🔗 github.com/yourname" rather than pasting a company logo; brand logos are trademarks and also may not survive resume software.
There is no plain-text character for a wifi symbol in this set, and a resume rarely needs one. If you are making a café notice or poster, a wifi symbol text fallback is simply the word "Wi-Fi" with the network name. For a website symbol png on a card, use Download PNG on 🌐.
Home Symbol and House Symbol for Address Lines
The home symbol 🏠 (a house building) marks a residential or office address. Many people prefer it over 📍 on visiting cards because it shows "this is where we are" rather than "a point on a map". On resumes, write only your city, so 📍 or ⌖ is more common.
The house symbol also works for "Home" buttons on simple websites or in school projects. A home symbol png from the copy box gives you a transparent picture for slides.
Section Icons: Work, Education and Dates
- 💼 Work experience, internships
- 🎓 Education, degrees, certificates
- 📅 🗓 Dates, availability, "Joining: 1 July"
- ✓ Skills or achievements in a checklist
- • ▪ ➤ Bullet points for duties and results
Use section icons sparingly: one per heading, never inside every line. For bullets, • (Alt+7 or Alt+0149 on the numeric keypad, Option+8 on Mac) is the safest choice. For arrows, see the right arrow symbol page.
How to Add Resume Symbols in Word
- Code then Alt+X: type the code and press Alt+X. Useful codes: 260E for ☎, 2709 for ✉, 1F4CD for 📍, 1F310 for 🌐, 1F517 for 🔗, 1F3E0 for 🏠.
- Insert > Symbol > More Symbols: pick the Segoe UI Symbol font and enter the code in the Character code box (works for four-character codes like 260E and 2709).
- Insert > Icons (Microsoft 365): search "phone", "email", "location" or "globe", insert, then set Wrap Text to In Line with Text so the icon sits on your contact line.
- Copy and paste: copy from the grid above and press Ctrl+V.
In Google Docs, use Insert > Special characters and search by name. On Windows in any app, Windows+. opens the emoji panel.
Keep Your CV Readable for Resume Software
Many companies use an applicant tracking system (ATS) to read CVs. These systems look for words like "Phone", "Email" and "LinkedIn". Some ignore symbols, and a few turn them into odd characters. To be safe:
- Keep labels: "☎ Phone:", "✉ Email:".
- Write your email and phone as normal text, not as an image or icon only.
- Avoid putting contact details inside a header or text box if the portal asks for plain uploads.
- Save as PDF for humans, and keep a simple Word version for portals that ask for .docx.

Frequently asked questions
Which symbols should I use on my resume?
Use ☎ or 📞 for phone, ✉ or 📧 for email, 📍 for city, 🌐 for website and 🔗 for profile links. Keep them small and use one style throughout.
Do resume symbols cause problems with ATS?
They can. Some applicant tracking systems skip or garble symbols, so always write a text label like "Phone:" or "Email:" next to each icon.
What is the contact symbol for resume headers?
There is no single contact symbol; people combine ☎, ✉ and 📍 in one line. For a single "Contact" heading, 📞 or ✉ works well.
Is there a GitHub or LinkedIn symbol I can copy?
Brand logos are not standard text characters. Write the profile address as text after 🔗, for example 🔗 linkedin.com/in/yourname.
What is a contactor symbol?
That is an electrical diagram symbol for a switching device, not a resume icon. Electrical and circuit symbols, including the neutral link, are drawn in wiring diagrams; see our physics symbols page for circuit basics.
