Sos Button 🆘 Emoji: Meaning & Usage
An SOS button — representing emergency, distress, and the urgent call for help that SOS has signaled since it became the international maritime distress signal in 1906. SOS in Morse code (···−−−···) was chosen for its clarity and ease of transmission under duress rather than standing for any phrase, though 'save our souls' is the popular backronym.
SOS signals life-threatening emergency requiring immediate assistance. Used for emergency and distress situation communication, urgent help requests, the most serious level of urgency in any context, crisis signaling, and any situation where the clear, unmistakable message of 'emergency, need immediate help' is what needs communicating without any ambiguity about severity.
