Japanese “free of charge” button 🈚 - OzVoca Emoji Details
Japanese “free of charge” button
The 🈚 emoji is the Chinese character '無' (mu), which means "nothing" or "to not have." It's used to mean "free of charge," i.e., that you don't have to pay money.
This emoji comes from the Japanese word '無料' (muryō), which means "free of charge." As the direct opposite of the 🈶 (not free of charge) emoji, it can be used to announce free drinks or free events.
Because of its fundamental meaning of "nothing," it's used in various ways beyond just "free." You can use it wittily to express a state of emptiness or lack, such as "I have no money (🈚)" or "I have no thoughts (🈚)."
When making plans, sending "I have no plans that day 🈚" means your schedule is empty. In this way, it's a very effective emoji for concisely and humorously conveying your status using the concept of "nothingness."
