Meaning and Interpretation
🚫 This is the ultimate 'nope' button. It's not just a polite refusal—it's a hard stop. Use it when you need to shut something down completely, like rejecting a terrible idea, saying something is absolutely off-limits, or expressing strong disagreement. It's the digital equivalent of putting up a 'Do Not Enter' sign. You can use it playfully ('No spoilers! 🚫') or seriously ('That behavior is unacceptable 🚫').
