U+2755 ยท emoji since 2010
The white exclamation mark is a softer take on emphasis. It means a gentle wow, a light surprise, or a polite heads-up.
Cleaner and quieter than the red one, it adds a touch of attention without shouting.
In texting, โ๏ธ 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 โ๏ธ is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the White Exclamation Mark emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the white exclamation mark emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
