What 🚱 non-potable water 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.
