Prohibited Sign

The Prohibited Sign at U+1F6C7 represents a general “not allowed” or “forbidden” notice, especially in transport, facility, and map-related contexts. It is a printable symbol in the Transport and Map Symbols block, intended for signage-like meaning rather than ordinary punctuation or alphabetic text. Its main real-world use is in maps, transit information, travel guides, and pictographic labels where a place, action, or service is barred. It can accompany text such as “no entry,” “access prohibited,” “restricted area,” or “not permitted,” and may be used as a compact stand-in when a full prohibition icon is needed in plain text. In messaging, labels, and informal lists, 🛇 can emphasize refusal or exclusion, such as marking a banned item, an unavailable option, or a rule that something must not be done. It is less common than the familiar red circle-with-slash emoji style and may not appear in the same visual form across fonts, so it is best for contexts where the exact Unicode character is acceptable rather than a standardized traffic-sign graphic.
