Japanese “monthly amount” button 🈷️ - OzVoca Emoji Details
Japanese “monthly amount” button
The 🈷️ emoji is a Chinese character meaning 'moon' or 'month'. You can use it to represent a month or to talk about monthly plans.
It originates from a button used in Japan to indicate things like a "monthly fee." This makes it a fun emoji to use when talking with friends about monthly subscription services or payday.
This emoji comes from a button design on Japanese mobile phones that indicated "monthly flat rate" or "monthly" services. The Chinese character '月' (meaning month) is used identically in Korean, making it feel familiar.
While it was originally an informational symbol for fee plans or service periods, it's now used in everyday conversations, like when setting "this month's goals" or arranging monthly meetups with friends. It's also great to use with a number to emphasize a specific month.
