Not Emojis

19 emojis tagged not in the official Unicode CLDR project. Click any emoji for its meaning, copy-paste, and per-platform rendering.

"Not" emojis cover negation, refusal, and prohibition — 🙅 person gesturing NO, 🤦 person facepalming, ⏳ hourglass not done, 🔕 bell with slash, ⛔ no entry, 🚫 prohibited, 🚳 no bicycles, 🚭 no smoking, 🚯 no littering, 🚱 non-potable water, and 🚷 no pedestrians. The "slash through a symbol" pattern is universal signage language. People use these emojis to mark forbidden activities, set boundaries, or comically signal "no thanks" in casual chat. The 🚫 prohibited symbol overlaid on other emojis creates DIY "don't do X" stickers in some chat apps.

Frequently asked about not emojis

What's the difference between 🚫 and ⛔?

🚫 prohibited (red circle with slash) is the generic 'no/forbidden' symbol used for any prohibition. ⛔ no entry is specifically a traffic sign meaning 'do not enter this road or area'. ⛔ has heavier visual weight and is more often used for hard stops or physical barriers.

Can I combine 🚫 with another emoji to say 'no X'?

Not as a formal ZWJ sequence, but visually — sending 🚫🥩 reads as 'no meat' in casual chat, and many users post pairs like 🚫🚗 'no cars' or 🚫📱 'no phones'. Unicode doesn't render these as a single overlapping symbol, but the meaning carries.
