How to Type the Warning Emoji on Any Device

Typing the warning emoji ⚠️ takes a different shortcut depending on your device. This guide covers the fastest method for each major platform.

iPhone and iPad

Open the emoji keyboard by tapping the globe or smiley icon next to your keyboard, then search "warning" in the search bar at the top. Tap the result to insert it directly into your message.

Android

Tap the emoji icon on your keyboard, then use the search field to type "warning." Most Android keyboards, including Gboard, will surface the correct triangle warning symbol as the top result.

Windows

Press Win + . (period) or Win + ; to open the built-in emoji picker, then search "warning" and press Enter to insert it at your cursor position.

macOS

Press Cmd + Ctrl + Space to open the Character Viewer, search "warning," and double-click the result to insert it into whatever app you're typing in.

In a browser without a keyboard shortcut

If your device doesn't support a quick emoji picker, the simplest method is to copy the warning emoji directly from this website's homepage or All Emojis directory and paste it wherever you need it.

Inside code editors

Some code editors block direct emoji insertion. In these cases, use the Unicode escape sequence \u26A0\uFE0F in JavaScript or the equivalent HTML entity ⚠️ in markup.
