Meaning

A hollow, outlined exclamation mark used to signal emphasis, attention, or a warning without the visual weight of the solid red version. In conversation it commonly marks surprise, urgency, or a point the writer wants noticed, and it can appear alone or repeated for stronger effect. It often reads as softer or more neutral than a filled exclamation mark, so tone depends heavily on context. It is also used decoratively in headings and captions. Because it can suggest either mild emphasis or genuine alarm, intent is not always clear from the symbol alone.

White exclamation mark — Approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010.
