The emoji "🈲" is known as "Japanese "not equal to" button" or "Japanese discount symbol." It is a red circle with a line through the center, similar to the "no smoking" symbol. In Japan, this symbol is used to indicate that something is not for sale, not available, or not equal to the price or value suggested. It is often used in advertising, pricing, or product information to indicate a discount or a special offer. However, outside of Japan, this emoji is not widely recognized or used, and its meaning may not be immediately clear to all users.
