minus
This is a minus sign emoji used when subtracting or reducing something. You can also use it to remove an item from a list.
When calculating, you can say something like 'My share ➖ 5,000 won' to ask for your portion to be subtracted. It's also used to simply express the drawbacks or negative aspects of something.
➖
Beyond its mathematical meaning, it's useful for indicating the 'cons' or 'problems' of a plan. You can use it to summarize, like 'Pros: Inexpensive, Cons: ➖ Far distance.'
It's visually stronger than a regular hyphen (-), so it's used to firmly exclude something or emphasize an opposing opinion. In discussions or exchanges of opinion, it also functions as a visual device to concisely present a counter-argument.
