About
The Warning emoji (⚠️) is your digital hazard cone, stepping in whenever you need to flag something that deserves a moment's pause. It's the emoji equivalent of tapping someone on the shoulder and saying 'hey, heads up'—whether you're about to share some questionable gossip, announce you're running catastrophically late, or let everyone know your hot take might be spicy.
