Japanese “bargain” button Emoji

Symbols

A bright red square containing the white Japanese kanji '得' (toku), which translates to 'gain' or 'bargain.' It mimics the look of a stamp or a price tag sticker used in retail environments.

Usage Context

This icon is frequently seen in Japan on clearance sale signs, coupons, or supermarket labels to signal a good deal. Outside of commerce, it is used to indicate that something is a winning move, a net positive, or a successful acquisition of an item or goal. It pairs well with 🏷️ for shopping or 💰 for talking about money.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of a set of Japanese ideographs, this emoji was designed to bring the common visual language of Japanese storefronts and discount circulars to mobile devices, allowing users to quickly communicate availability and value.
