A cartoon-styled bomb, depicted as a black ball with a burning fuse.

Commonly used for various figurative bombs or explosions, e.g., slang bomb, a “home run” in baseball or softball; "excellent" or "attractive." Sometimes applied in contexts of war, weapons, or violence.

Earlier designs from SoftBank and au by KDDI animated the bomb as exploding.

Bomb was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
