In oriental cultures, ๐ ๐ฝโโ๏ธ may indicate refusal, disagreement or non - recognition of a certain view or behavior. It can be used in more relaxed communication scenarios, such as in chats between friends to express the attitude of not wanting to participate in something.

In Western culture, ๐ ๐ฝโโ๏ธ is an intuitive emoji expression of a negative gesture.

Cross-Cultural Usage Tips
When used across cultures, pay attention to the context of use to avoid ambiguity. In formal international exchanges, if you are not sure about the acceptance of this emoji in the other party's cultural background, you should use it with caution. Moreover, when expressing refusal, try to be accompanied by some polite written explanations to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings caused solely by the emoji.
In social situations, for example, when friends are discussing the time, place and activity content of a party in a chat group, if you don't agree with a certain proposal, you can use ๐ ๐ฝโโ๏ธ; it is also applicable when expressing your opposition to some popular topics on social media.
In a relatively relaxed work - team communication group, when a colleague makes some suggestions for leisure activities (such as the location for a dinner party, the content of team - building activities, etc.) and you don't approve of them, you can use ๐ ๐ฝโโ๏ธ. However, in serious scenarios such as formal work decision - making, communication between superiors and subordinates, and business negotiations, it should be avoided to use it so as not to seem unprofessional or disrespectful.
