The history of this emoji dates back to the early 2000s when it was first introduced as part of the Japanese emoji set for mobile phones. It was originally created by the Japanese mobile phone company, NTT DoCoMo, and was meant to be a simplified version of the "no entry" symbol commonly used in Western countries.

It has since become a recognizable symbol of Japanese culture and is often used in various contexts, such as in memes or as a playful way to express restrictions or rules.
