About
The Japanese "Reserved" Button emoji (🈯️) is your polite way of saying "this spot is taken" without the awkwardness of confrontation. It's the digital equivalent of placing a coat on a restaurant chair—formal, clear, and undeniably final. Perfect for when you need to mark your territory with the quiet authority that only comes from ancient ideographic wisdom.

This emoji represents the Japanese character 指 (yubi), meaning "finger" or "to point," which evolved into meaning "reserved" in modern Japanese signage—like pointing to claim something as yours.
