no entry

Stop right there! This emoji, with its bold red circle and a stark white bar, is the universal sign for 'no entry.' It’s a clear and unambiguous warning that a certain area is off-limits, a path is blocked, or an action is strictly forbidden. It’s the visual equivalent of a locked door or a 'do not cross' line.

Use this when you need to communicate a clear boundary, a firm 'no,' or to warn someone away from a dangerous situation. It’s perfect for talking about restricted areas, rules that can't be broken, or just to humorously tell a friend 'you shall not pass!' It’s a powerful symbol for setting limits and ensuring safety.
