What Does the ๐ NG button Emoji Mean?
Two blue-backed letters, N and G, standing for no good. The abbreviation is used far more in Japanese than in English, where it marks a failed take in filming, an unacceptable result, or something that simply will not do. Almost nobody outside Japan knows what it means, which makes it one of the most reliably misused characters in the set.

About NG button Emoji
Usage: Japanese media and production contexts use it correctly, particularly around outtakes, which are a television genre there in their own right. Elsewhere it is used almost entirely by mistake or for decoration. Anyone who has watched Japanese variety television recognises it instantly, which is a reliable small audience.
Encoded in Unicode 6.0 in 2010 from Japanese carrier sets, alongside the other squared letter buttons. NG entered Japanese from English as wasei-eigo, a borrowed term reshaped locally, and it is now far more common in Japan than in any English-speaking country.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ๐ stand for?
No good. It is used in Japanese to mark a failed take in filming or an unacceptable result, and it is far more common there than in any English-speaking country.
Is NG an English term?
It began as one and was reshaped in Japan into wasei-eigo, English-derived vocabulary used in ways English speakers would not recognise. It now lives almost entirely in Japanese.
Why do so few people use ๐?
Because the meaning is opaque outside Japan. The letters give nothing away to an English reader, so most non-Japanese users either ignore the character entirely or treat it as a blue decoration.
