U+1F6F1 "🛱" Oncoming Fire Engine Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
🛱
U+1F6F1 "🛱" Oncoming Fire Engine is a specialized pictographic symbol within the Transport and Map Symbols block that depicts a fire engine from a frontal, oncoming perspective, primarily designed for use in digital signage, mapping applications, and traffic notification systems to indicate the approach of an emergency vehicle. Unlike the standard fire engine emoji, this character emphasizes the head-on view to clearly communicate an immediate or direct heading toward the viewer. It was added to the Unicode Standard as part of version 9.0 in 2016 but remains a relatively obscure character with inconsistent support across major platforms and applications.
