Non-potable water Emoji

Symbols

A yellow sign depicting a faucet dripping water over a glass, marked with a prominent red circle and a diagonal slash. The image acts as a clear warning that the water flowing from a specific source is unsafe to drink.

Usage Context

This sign is primarily used in public settings like campgrounds, parks, or industrial buildings to prevent people from accidentally consuming contaminated or non-treated water. On social media, it can be used jokingly to indicate that a person or situation is 'toxic' or 'unhealthy,' serving as a sharp contrast to the refreshing vibe of the 💧 emoji.

History

The non-potable water symbol was added to the Unicode standard in 2010 to harmonize international safety signage. Its design draws from global hazard warning standards, which were formalized in the late 20th century to ensure public health warnings could be understood regardless of language barriers.
