⏹️ Stop button
U+23F9-U+FE0F⏹️ Meaning & Usage
The solid square stop button symbol is something we all recognize instantly from cassette players, video streaming interfaces, and digital audio apps. People use it to completely halt whatever media is currently playing, which is different from pausing because it resets the progress instead of just freezing it. In modern digital culture, this shape has transcended its original hardware origins to become a universal visual shorthand for saying "halt," "end," or "do not proceed." You will often see it sitting right next to the play triangle (▶️) and the pause double bars (⏸️), forming a trio of controls that govern how we interact with time and media.
Usage Examples
"This recording was recorded incorrectly. Hurry up and click the square button to start over ⏹️"
"This recording was recorded incorrectly. Hurry up and click the square button to start over ⏹️"
"This recording was recorded incorrectly. Hurry up and click the square button to start over ⏹️"
