How is the 〒 postal code symbol pronounced?


I know the symbol is placed in front of the postal code. How is it pronounced?




According to [Wikipedia](https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E3%80%92)
the symbol itself is named 郵便記号{ゆうびんきごう}, but EDICT/Jisho also lists
[`ゆうびん`](https://jisho.org/search/%E3%80%92) as "reading" for it. Since the
origin of the symbol is katakana te (テ), you can probably just say "te" as
well.

  * 郵便記号(ゆうびんきごう、〒)
  * 郵便マーク(ゆうびんマーク)
  * 郵便番号(ゆうびんばんごう）
  * 日本の郵便事業・郵便局の記号・シンボルマークです。

If you want to read it as part of the address (e.g. `〒100-8994`), I would
suggest using the word for "post code" (郵便番号{ゆうびんばんごう}).
