Meaning

A red square containing a white capital letter B, styled like a keyboard key. It represents the B blood type in medical or Japanese contexts, but in casual online use it commonly stands for the letter B itself, often as a playful substitute for the letter in words or as a reaction image. It can convey a joking, meme-like tone, especially in the phrase "🅱️" replacing other letters. Usage varies widely; outside blood-type or keyboard contexts its meaning is often ambiguous and depends heavily on the surrounding conversation.

B button (blood type) — Approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010.
