Common Mistakes

⚠️

Mistake: Using a simple exclamation mark instead of ⚠ for warnings

Fix: Use the warning sign ⚠ for alerts and cautions. A plain exclamation mark ! does not convey the same level of urgency.

⚠️

Mistake: Confusing ⚠ (warning) with ⚡ (high voltage / danger)

Fix: Use ⚠ for general warnings and ⚡ for electrical hazards or energy-related content. They convey different types of danger.
