No mobile phones Emoji

Symbols

A dark-colored smartphone silhouette featuring a bold, red-lined circle with a diagonal slash crossing over the screen. It clearly signals that cellular devices are restricted or must be turned off in a specific area.

Usage Context

You will spot this sign in quiet environments like theaters, libraries, hospitals, or airplane cabins. People often share this emoji when reminding others to silence their devices during meetings or movies, pairing it with the 🔕 bell or the 🚫 prohibited sign to drive the point home.

History

Adopted in Unicode 6.0 in 2010, this icon was designed to standardize international signage for mobile device restrictions. As smartphones became ubiquitous, the need for a universally recognized digital warning sign grew to replace the older, text-heavy physical placards once found in public transport and workspaces.
