Frequently Asked Questions
What does ⛔ mean in a text message?▼
A red circle with a white horizontal bar, the universal no-entry traffic sign. Represents restricted access, prohibited areas, and roads you cannot enter. Use for forbidden areas, restricted access, one-way street violations, or emphasizing that entry is not allowed. The tone can shift depending on context — a message to a friend reads differently than one to a coworker.
What is the official Unicode name for ⛔?▼
Each emoji has an official name assigned by the Unicode Consortium, which may differ from common names used in apps. The No Entry emoji's official designation is listed in the Unicode CLDR (Common Locale Data Repository). Shortcode names like those on Slack or Discord are platform-specific.
Can screen readers interpret ⛔?▼
Yes. Screen readers announce emoji by their Unicode name, so ⛔ would be read aloud as "No Entry." When using multiple emoji in a row, screen readers read each one individually, which can be overwhelming — so use them sparingly in accessible content.
What is the shortcode for ⛔?▼
On platforms like Slack and Discord, you can type `:no_entry:` to insert the No Entry emoji. On GitHub, the same shortcodes work in issues and comments.
