U+1F23A ยท emoji since 2010
This button shows the kanji ๅถ, meaning open for business. It marks shops that are open and ready for customers.
It tags trading hours and welcoming signs, the stamp for come on in, we're open.
In texting, ๐บ does not carry a widely used hidden or slang meaning, so you can usually take it at face value. People send it just as it looks, to add a little visual touch or set the mood of a message. Only a handful of emoji have a separate texting code, and ๐บ is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the Japanese Open for Business Button emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the japanese open for business button emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
The ๐บ leads off a short phrase, and the rest of the words are written in cipher, every letter disguised as another emoji. Tap decipher to reveal the whole line.
Or make your own cipher in the translator.
