This emoji originates from the Chinese character '禁' (kin), meaning "prohibited" in Japanese. Online, it's sometimes used playfully to shut down a friend's words or actions.
Originally created by Japanese telecom companies, it serves a similar role to the Western circular prohibition sign (🚫). Besides actual prohibitions, it can be used wittily to express a personal resolution like, "No more late-night snacks starting today 🈲," or to jokingly reject excessive displays of affection.
