Japanese “acceptable” button
The 🉑 emoji carries a positive meaning, like 'possible' or 'it's okay.' You can use it when giving permission for something.
It's great for giving a clear 'Okay, that's possible!' response to a request or suggestion. It has the opposite meaning of the 🈲 emoji, which signifies prohibition.
It comes from the Chinese character '可' (ka), which means 'possible' (可能) or 'permission' (許可) in Japanese. It can convey a more formal sense of permission or approval than a simple 'OK.'
In East Asian cultures, permission is often indicated by stamping a seal on documents, and this emoji gives off that exact vibe. This makes it useful for indicating approval or authorization in work-related messages. Among friends, it's also used casually to mean 'I approve!' or 'That's a good idea.'
