Japanese “application” button 🈸 - OzVoca Emoji Details
Japanese “application” button
The 🈸 emoji means 'application.' It's used when formally requesting something.
It can represent situations like applying to join a school club, or applying for a visa or a part-time job. You can also use it to express your intention to participate, like saying 'I want to join in!'
It originates from the character '申' (shin), the first character in the Japanese word for 'application' (申請). It's a fitting emoji for conveying the nuance of submitting documents or making a formal request.
This emoji was originally created in Japan for administrative procedures like phone book searches or tax filings (申告). Nowadays, it's also used in fun situations, such as for a witty confession like 'Applying to be your number one fan starting today 🈸,' or for requesting a song during a live stream.
