A cartoon-styled representation of a collision. Depicted as a star-like, orange-and-yellow fiery burst, generally with one point extending to the bottom right, as if from the source of the collision.

May be used to represent various types of bangs, explosions, or crashes. As such, it is sometimes used with the slang expression “crashing out” to emphasize an emotional outburst or loss of control, rather than a literal physical crash.

Like 🔥 Fire and 💯 Hundred Points, it can also be commonly used to represent that something is excellent or exciting in some way. 

This emoji is possibly alluded to in the 2025 hit Netflix show Adolescence. Learn more here.

Apple implements a version of 💥 Collision in its 🧨 Firecracker and 📸 Camera With Flash.

Collision was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 under the name "Collision Symbol" and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
