play or pause button
This is the play or pause button, used when watching videos or listening to music.
It represents 'play' to mean "let's start now," and 'pause' to mean "let's stop for a moment." It's fun to send to a friend when you want to say, "Let's hang out now!"

It can be used metaphorically to 'start' or 'briefly stop' an activity or plan. It can also be sent as a sign of agreement to a question like, "Shall we start our project now?"
It can also be interpreted as a symbol for controlling the pace of life. If you've been running too fast, you can 'pause' for a bit, and if you're facing a new challenge, you can press 'play.' It's also sometimes sent when you need time to think during a conversation.
