📢Loudspeaker Emoji
Tagged address, communication and loud, 📢 loudspeaker sits in Unicode's Sound group inside Objects. It was introduced in Unicode 6.0 (2010) at U+1F4E2.
What 📢 loudspeaker means
Volume states, announcements and notification talk. The four speaker glyphs 🔇 through 🔊 read as a ramp, so people use them to mark something getting louder or to warn that a clip needs sound on. 📢 and 📣 head up announcements and calls to action, while 🔔 borrows its meaning from the notification bells built into YouTube and most apps.
Unicode tags this one address, communication and loud and files it under Objects → Sound.
