Lightning Bolt symbol
Type :lightning_bolt: · Marks
What ⚡ is for
A high-voltage bolt. In text it marks speed, power or a warning, and most platforms render it as the yellow emoji, which is worth knowing before it lands in a terminal.
How to type ⚡
The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With
Emoji Anywhere
installed you can skip all of them and type
:lightning_bolt: in any text field instead, which
is the same on every platform.
macOS
No direct shortcut. Use Edit → Emoji & Symbols, or switch to the Unicode Hex Input
source and type 26A1
with Option held.
Windows
No Alt code. In Word, type 26A1 then press Alt +
X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
