Person Gesturing No

A person crossing their arms in front of them to signal 'no' or 'stop'.

The 🙅 Person Gesturing No emoji clearly communicates refusal, rejection, disagreement, or strong boundaries. It’s often used to shut something down—whether it's a suggestion, action, or behavior.

Appearing in gender-neutral (🙅), male (🙅‍♂️), and female (🙅‍♀️) forms, this emoji is used both seriously (e.g., "hard no") and humorously (e.g., "me avoiding drama 🙅"). It’s particularly useful in boundary-setting, online debates, or reaction posts.

Gen Z and meme culture often use it in exaggerated or sarcastic ways to convey strong aversion or to reject something in a playful tone.
