How it works

Urgent means requiring immediate attention, by Wiktionary. No emoji is named for it, and CLDR, Unicode’s list of search words, files nothing under the word. So the urgent emoji here starts with the light filed under emergency and alert.

Read the full guide

Hurry, late and soon

Emergency is filed under three emoji: Police car light, Ambulance and Safety vest. Hurry and rush lead to the six runners, late to Alarm clock and Face with bags under eyes, soon to SOON arrow alone, and rushed to Anxious face with sweat alone.

Press, say when, or ask

Urgent goes back to Latin urgere, to press, by Wiktionary, and pressing is still its first synonym there. A red mark presses. A clock says when. Folded hands, filed under please, asks. For a message that can wait, the starter Not urgent opens with Yellow circle.

Questions and answers

Is there an urgent emoji?

Not by that name. 🚨 Police car light is the nearest: the only emoji with both emergency and alert among its CLDR words. ‼️, ⚠️ and πŸ†˜ are filed under bangbang, caution and help.

Is there an urgent symbol?

In plain text, yes. ζ€₯ is quick, urgent or pressing in the Unihan database. β€Ό and ⚠ have a text form that takes the colour of your words, and ❒ is an exclamation mark ornament, not an emoji.

What is the urgent emoticon?

A typed one. (!) is an exclamation mark in a ring, (O_O)! is wide eyes, and Ξ΅=Ξ΅=β”Œ(>_<)β”˜ is someone running, with the Greek letter epsilon for dust.

What emoji means ASAP?

None by name: CLDR files nothing under asap. ASAP is as soon as possible, first used by military forces in the 1950s, by Wiktionary. The combo Right away is πŸƒπŸ”œ: a runner, filed under hurry, then SOON arrow, filed under omw.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-10 from sources read that day. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers are from the Unicode emoji list, 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. 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). No emoji is named urgent and CLDR files nothing under urgent, urgency, asap, deadline, priority, important or immediately; no character name in UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), holds the word urgent. CLDR files emergency under three emoji (Ambulance, Police car light, Safety vest) and alert under Police car light alone, so the light is the only emoji with both; hurry and rush under the six runners; rushed under Anxious face with sweat alone; late under Face with bags under eyes and Alarm clock; soon under SOON arrow alone; help under Crutch and SOS button; look under Eyes alone; bangbang under Double exclamation mark alone and caution under Warning alone. The text forms are from emoji-variation-sequences.txt 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt). The meaning of ζ€₯ is its kDefinition line in the Unihan database, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Unihan.zip). That urgent means requiring immediate attention, that it goes back to Latin urgere, to press, and that pressing is its first synonym are from Wiktionary, urgent (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/urgent, CC BY-SA 4.0); the senses and origins of ASAP, stat, pronto, posthaste and time-sensitive are from their Wiktionary entries (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ASAP, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stat, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pronto, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/posthaste, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/time-sensitive).
