Unicode Version 17.0
ðŸ•
U+1F56D "ðŸ•" Ringing Bell is a stylized pictogram that depicts a classic handbell in mid motion, often with sound waves or motion lines to indicate it is actively ringing. Part of the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block, this symbol is used in digital communication to represent an alarm, a notification, a call to attention, or the act of ringing a bell itself. Its design evokes the traditional use of bells for signaling or celebration, and it is sometimes confused with or used interchangeably with the more common 🔔 (bell) and 🔕 (bell with slash) emojis, though it lacks full emoji support across all platforms.
