Features a faucet with water crossed out by a prohibition sign, indicating water that is not safe for drinking. Common near decorative fountains and non-drinking water sources. Use to warn about unsafe drinking water, non-potable sources, or distinguishing between water types. The tone can shift depending on context — a message to a friend reads differently than one to a coworker.

The Non-Potable Water 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 🚱?▼
