U+1F694 · emoji since 2014
The oncoming police car faces you head on with its lights up. It means law enforcement, getting pulled over, and a siren in the rearview.
It marks safety, patrols, and emergencies, and tags the sudden chill of seeing a cop car coming your way.
In texting, 🚔️ does not carry a widely used hidden or slang meaning, so you can usually take it at face value. People send it just as it looks, to add a little visual touch or set the mood of a message. Only a handful of emoji have a separate texting code, and 🚔️ is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the Oncoming Police Car emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the oncoming police car emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
The 🚔️ leads off a short phrase, and the rest of the words are written in cipher, every letter disguised as another emoji. Tap decipher to reveal the whole line.
