Read the full guide
Announce it or cheer it
Eighteen of the 26 lines open and close with ๐ฃ, from Announcement and We're hiring to Game day and Go! Fight! Win! Four have blanks: paste, then type the name, the day or your team over the underscores. Two are set in bold Unicode capitals, for places with no bold button.
With no emoji at all
Some name fields and printed notices drop emoji. Search no emoji for eight megaphones and lines made of ordinary characters: โ))) is a triangle and three brackets, and <))) is pure keyboard. The ASCII banner has the word ANNOUNCEMENT to type over.
Tips
Search sale or hiring. Unicode's own search words include neither, so this page added them to the tiles that fit.
The ASCII banner is 26 columns wide, the other four 15 or fewer. Paste them where the font is monospaced.
Megaphone and Loudspeaker are from Emoji 0.6. Placard, in the combo Rally, needs Emoji 13.0.
Questions and answers
What does the megaphone emoji mean?
An announcement, or a cheer. Wiktionary records ๐ฃ used figuratively for an announcement. CLDR, Unicode's list of search words, gives it three: cheering, megaphone and sound. No other emoji is filed under cheering or under megaphone.
What is the difference between the megaphone and loudspeaker emoji?
Mostly the names. Unicode calls ๐ฃ Cheering megaphone and ๐ข Public address loudspeaker. CLDR files the loudspeaker under loud, public and address, and the megaphone under none of those. Wiktionary lists the two as synonyms, so either reads as an announcement.
Is there a bullhorn emoji?
It is ๐ฃ: Wikipedia gives bullhorn and loudhailer as other names for a megaphone. Unicode also has two characters named Bullhorn, ๐ซ and ๐ฌ, but they are not emoji and show as an empty box where no font has them. Searching bullhorn finds all three.
Is there a cheerleader emoji?
No. No emoji name and no CLDR search word holds cheerleader or pom. Person cartwheeling, from Emoji 3.0, is the nearest move, and the combo Cheer squad puts a megaphone between two. Wikipedia records that cheerleading still uses acoustic megaphones.
Is there an announcement emoji?
None by that name: no emoji name and no CLDR search word holds announcement or announce. ๐ฃ and ๐ข do the job. Police car light is the only emoji CLDR files under alert, and Placard the only one under notice.

How this list was compiled: Built by script on 2026-09-19, not typed by hand. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers come from emoji-test.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); names are the CLDR short names printed in that file, in sentence case. Megaphone is U+1F4E3, Emoji 0.6, in group Objects, subgroup sound: sixth of the nine emoji there, after loudspeaker (U+1F4E2) and before postal horn. The search words are from the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml and https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotationsDerived/en.xml, main branch). CLDR files megaphone, and nothing else, under cheering; loudspeaker, and nothing else, under public and address; speaker high volume and loudspeaker under loud. No emoji name and no CLDR search word holds announcement, announce, bullhorn, loudhailer, cheerleader, pom, shout, yell, attention, broadcast, hiring or sale. Each such claim was checked by counting the word, without regard to case, across every emoji in the file. The text forms come from emoji-variation-sequences.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt). Every character that is not an emoji was checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and a note that names a character uses its name from that file. The formal names Cheering megaphone and Public address loudspeaker are the UnicodeData.txt names of the two characters. The cross reference from the megaphone to U+1F56C Bullhorn with sound waves, the notes sound off and sound on, shout left and shout right, new and updated, someone speaking and background speaking, fist (typographic term), Japanese kome, and the second meanings of the newspaper, satellite antenna, ballot box, label, confetti ball and clapper board come from NamesList.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt). Wikipedia and Wiktionary supplied seven facts, read as wikitext on 2026-09-20: megaphone, bullhorn and loudhailer as names for one device, spoken into at the narrow end; cheerleading as one of the few fields that still uses acoustic megaphones; lifeguards still using them because moisture damages the electric kind; the megaphone as the old symbol of a film director (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaphone); the megaphone emoji used figuratively for an announcement, with the loudspeaker as its synonym (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/๐ฃ and https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/๐ข); the manicule or fist as a mark that draws the reader's attention (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manicule); and the reference mark as a call to an important sentence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_mark). The 26 lines, the 5 ASCII drawings, the six one-line megaphones and the 26 combos are this site's own work: the lines are everyday phrases with a megaphone at each end, two of them also set in the bold sans-serif capitals of Unicode's Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols, the drawings are plain ASCII no wider than 26 columns, and the combo names are our own. Left out on purpose: brands and makers of megaphones, team, school and league names, party and campaign names, slogans of real movements, film and song references, and anything aimed at a person. The Unicode and CLDR files were checked on 2026-09-19, and the Wikipedia and Wiktionary pages on 2026-09-20. Licence: own work
