radioactive
It’s about to get toxic with the radioactive emoji! Radioactivity has its very own logo known as the International Radiation Symbol which is a yellow or orange circle outlined with black and three triangles inside, and a small black circle in the middle. This symbol has become important in warning people of radioactive decay, which is a highly toxic substance with extreme effects on humans and animals. The radioactive emoji, also known as the nuclear emoji, was created in the year 1993. This makes it one of the earliest emojis ever created.
Since it’s considered an international symbol the radioactive emoji is probably familiar to many of us. It is a sign to stay away from dangerous substances that could be contained or within the area. Most of the time the radioactive symbol is used in a serious setting rather than a fun one. As a result, this is still used in emoji form. People visiting nuclear power plants could use this emoji to symbolize the power plant.
Another example when using this emoji is appropriate would be places affected by nuclear disasters such as Chernobyl or the Fukushima district. These areas are examples of exclusion zones, places only a few may have access to.
The less more dangerous use of the radioactive emoji is to mention the song by Imagine Dragons of the same name. This song reached number one for a few weeks during its prime. However, if you’re talking superheroes, the radioactive symbol is a common emoji to use. Especially since most origin stories involve radiation exposure.
Radioactive is a fully-qualified emoji as part of Unicode 1.1 which was introduced in 1993, and was added to Emoji 1.0.
