U+1F56B "🕫" Bullhorn Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

🕫

U+1F56B "🕫" Bullhorn is a pictographic representation of a traditional handheld amplification device, typically depicted as a conical horn with a flared opening, used to project the human voice over a distance. This character belongs to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block and is officially designated as a generic symbol for announcement, attention, or communication in digital contexts. It is notably distinct from the more commonly used emoji version of a bullhorn, as the U+1F56B glyph is often rendered in a simpler, monochromatic style and may appear differently across fonts and platforms. Its inclusion in Unicode enables its use in text based applications to convey ideas of broadcasting, public speaking, or raising an alarm without the need for an image or complex formatting.
