Prohibited

Description

The "prohibited" emoji (🚫) is a bold red circle with a diagonal line cutting across it, universally signaling “no” or “forbidden.” Often seen in contexts of warnings, it can indicate restricted areas, dangerous activities, or even that certain behaviors are off-limits, like using your phone while driving. Culturally, this symbol is crucial for safety, highlighting significant rules. Interestingly, it’s also used humorously: a friend might send it playfully after a proposal for a late-night snack run, emphasizing that it’s time for bed instead! The emoji version is 0.6, released in 2015.
