Meaning
The Bomb emoji is a classic cartoon bomb: a round black ball with a short fuse on top that is burning and throwing sparks.
It means danger, something about to explode, or big news landing (“dropping a bomb 💣”). In slang it is also praise: if something is “the bomb”, it is excellent, and a “bombshell” is either shocking news or a very attractive person. Gamers and athletes use it for a huge shot or play, and it can mark a message that will cause drama. It may also refer to real weapons or war, so context matters.
For the blast itself, use 💥 Collision; a stick of dynamite or a firecracker is 🧨 Firecracker. Adding 🔥 Fire makes the praise even hotter. It was added in Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
