Prohibited Emoji

Symbols

A bold red circle featuring a thick diagonal slash running from the upper left to the lower right. It is a universal visual shorthand for 'no' or 'do not enter'.

Usage Context

This icon is a staple in digital warnings and moderation tools. You will often see it used to signal that a specific behavior is against the rules, or it can be paired with other emojis like 🚭 to emphasize a specific restriction or prohibition in a chat or post.

History

Adopted into Unicode 6.0 in 2010, the symbol traces its lineage back to international road signage standards like the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, which established the circular red border as the standard for regulatory traffic commands.
