The Japanese “discount” button emoji (🈹) features a bold red circular design with the kanji character 割, symbolizing discounts, reductions, or sales. In Japan, this symbol is omnipresent in shopping districts, conveying savings and special offers. Often used in conversations about shopping or budget-friendly activities, it can also spark excitement when sharing deals among friends. Interestingly, it reflects the cultural importance of bargains in Japanese consumerism, where a well-timed sale can be a delightful treasure hunt for shoppers! The emoji version is 0.6, released in 2015.
