🚭️No Smoking Emoji
🚭️ is the no smoking emoji, U+1F6AD U+FE0F, one of 13 in the Warning Symbols set. It arrived with Unicode 6.0 (2010) and is commonly used for forbidden, no and not.
What 🚭️ no smoking means
Caution and prohibition, most of it borrowed straight from real signage. ⚠️ heads a disclaimer or content warning, 🚫 and ⛔️ shut something down, and 🔞 marks adult material. ⛔️ is regularly mistaken for a stop sign, though the octagonal one 🛑 is a separate emoji filed with transport. ☢️ and ☣️ are rarely literal and instead label something toxic or best avoided.
Unicode tags this one forbidden, no and not and files it under Symbols → Warning Symbols.
Copy variants
