What does 🚸 Children Crossing mean?
Children walking across a road, the traffic sign posted near schools and playgrounds. People use it to remind drivers to slow down, to talk about school runs and the first day of term, or to flag that kids are nearby. Parents drop it into chats about walking children to class or crossing patrols. It is a caution sign, so the tone is protective rather than playful.
🚸 Children Crossing is an emoji from the Symbols category (warning signs), added in Emoji 1.0 in 2015. People use it in messages about child, pedestrian and traffic.
