Warning ⚠
Copy & Meaning

A warning sign — the yellow triangle with exclamation mark that is one of the world's most universally recognized cautionary symbols, appearing wherever hazards exist and attention is required. Warning signs appear on electrical equipment, wet floors, construction zones, and any situation where failing to notice danger could result in harm. The triangle's shape and yellow color are specifically chosen for high visibility.

'Warning: this is important' is the sign's universal message across all contexts. Used for safety warnings and cautions, important information alerts, social media warnings about sensitive content, hazard identification in physical environments, and any context where directing immediate attention to potential danger is the critical communication goal.
