I would like to add a danger symbol such as a triangle with an exclamation mark inside it on the back of my PCB.
Is there a library that contains such kind of symbols?
footprint-library “symbol”.

It’s also a standard glyph in a suitable font, at code point 26A0, looking like this: 
So I did a little experiment. I copied that symbol and then opened my layout, switched to F.Silk, selected the text tool, pasted the symbol in, changed the font size to 10mm width and height, selected a font at random DejaVu Sans, and voila, the symbol appeared on my layout. Don’t know which fonts it’s a valid glyph in, maybe I was just lucky.

Though for some reason, this symbol (and many other similar symbols) are only included in that library as footprints on the copper layer. If you want it on the silkscreen layer, you’d have to duplicate and edit it within your own project.
easy enough to make your own. you could prob do in 3 min
let me know if you need help, I’ll better explain
