Volcano emoji meaning

The volcano emoji shows a mountain with a cone-like shape that has a crater at the top, where hot, glowing lava is bursting out. In many designs, you can also see clouds of ash and smoke rising into the air, sometimes accompanied by flying bits of lava. While the appearance of this emoji can look slightly different depending on the platform, it consistently portrays the dramatic and energetic nature of a volcanic eruption. This emoji is often used to symbolize volcanic activity, extreme emotions like anger or excitement, intense or risky situations, or a general interest in geology and Earth's powerful natural forces.

The volcano emoji was approved in Unicode 6.0 and added in Emoji 1.0, see related proposal L2/09026
