Meaning

A square button showing the Japanese character 指, used in Japan to mark a seat, space, or item as reserved or taken. In conversation it commonly signals that something is claimed, booked, or unavailable, or that a spot is being held for someone. It can also convey "this one's mine" or "already spoken for" in a light, playful way. Because the character is not widely read outside Japan, its meaning can be unclear to some viewers, who may see it only as a generic Japanese-style button.

Japanese “reserved” button — Approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010.
