Japanese “not Free Of Charge” Button

Description

The Japanese "not free of charge" button (🈶) features a distinctive stylized representation of the kanji 有, meaning "have" or "exist." This ideograph often appears in contexts like signage for paid services or products, establishing the expectation of payment. While commonly found in vending machines or cafes, it can also symbolize the value of experiences—such as paying for an exclusive tour or event. In Japanese culture, the concept of value is deeply intertwined with hospitality, making this emoji a subtle reminder that quality often comes at a cost. The emoji version is 0.6, released in 2015.
