The FREE BUTTON emoji (๐) is the digital equivalent of those giant red sale stickers that make your brain go 'ooh, shiny!' It's what you slap on anything from Spotify links to your couch on Craigslist, because nothing gets people's attention quite like the magic word that makes wallets stay closed and dopamine levels spike.

This emoji emerged from Japanese mobile carriers' custom button symbols in the early 2000s, when 'free' messaging features were a major selling point for getting people to switch from SMS to mobile internet services.
