About the caution sign symbol

The Caution Sign is a black-bordered triangle with an exclamation mark inside, set against a white or transparent center. It appears in technical diagrams, signage mockups, and instructional materials where a generic warning indicator is needed, distinct from the more common yellow warning triangle used in traffic contexts.
