Japanese “prohibited” button Emoji Meaning
🈲 is the Unicode character named “JAPANESE ‘PROHIBITED’ BUTTON” (U+1F232). Visually, it resembles a compact sign-style badge meaning something is not allowed. In everyday use, people apply it to indicate restrictions such as “do not enter,” “no access,” or “forbidden action,” especially when space is limited. It’s often used alongside other warning or safety icons, in app interfaces, or in UI labels to quickly communicate that an action should not be taken. Because it carries a strong “not permitted” message, it’s best for contexts where you want an immediate prohibition cue.
