The biohazard symbol consisting of three interlocking crescents, warning of biological hazards. Represents dangerous biological substances, viruses, and toxic biological agents. Use for biological hazard warnings, virus/pandemic topics, laboratory safety, or metaphorically for unhealthy situations. 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 Biohazard 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 "Biohazard." When using multiple emoji in a row, screen readers read each one individually, which can be overwhelming — so use them sparingly in accessible content.

On platforms like Slack and Discord, you can type `:biohazard_sign:` to insert the Biohazard emoji. On GitHub, the same shortcodes work in issues and comments.
