01 — Meaning

What does the 🆑 Cl Button emoji mean?

In plain english

Basically, it means "delete" or "erase." It’s a quick way to say you want someone to take back a message they sent. It’s often used in chats when you’ve made a mistake. 🆑 sits in red emojis, where it is listed next to everything used the same way.

Where it comes from

The 🆑 emoji, also known as the Cl Button, represents a physical button that clears or erases something. People use it when they made a mistake in a text and want to undo their last message. It’s like hitting the ‘delete’ button on a keyboard. You’ll often see it used after typos, when someone says “cl” to signal they want you to delete a message, or when correcting a misspoken word. It can express awkwardness, embarrassment, or a desire to fix an error.

People search for it under a lot of different names. All of these point at the same character.

What 🆑 means from a girl or a guy

The same character carries a different intent depending on the sender and the message before it.

From a girl

Generally, when a girl sends you the 🆑 emoji, she’s likely pointing out a mistake you made – usually a typo or something you said that wasn’t quite right. She's gently correcting you. It’s a polite way to show she noticed an error without being overly critical.

From a guy

A guy using the 🆑 emoji is often doing the same thing a girl does: pointing out a mistake. It can also be a self-deprecating way to acknowledge a clumsy typo or an awkward phrase he used. He’s trying to be helpful and correct the situation.

How to reply

If someone sends you 🆑, you could reply with: “No worries! 😂”, “Oops, my bad! 😅”, “Fixed! 👍”, or “Just a little slip-up 😜”.

What 🆑 means on TikTok, WhatsApp and Discord

One code point, several readings — where the cl button lands changes how it is taken.

TikTok & Instagram

Basically, it means "delete" or "erase." It’s a quick way to say you want someone to take back a message they sent. In comments and captions it is read the same way — the tone comes from what it sits next to.

WhatsApp draws 🆑 with Apple-style artwork on every phone, so it looks identical for both sides. A message with only 🆑 in it is shown enlarged.

Discord & Slack

Both accept the shortcode :cl:. Discord renders Twemoji, so 🆑 looks different there than on your phone.

Outlook & email

Outlook has no emoji picker on desktop — press Win + . or Control + Command + Space inside the message body, or paste 🆑 from the copy button above.

11 — History

Where the 🆑 Cl Button emoji came from

This one is older than Unicode emoji: Japanese carriers were drawing it on their handsets years before the standard existed, which it finally joined in 2010.

Same character every time — U+1F191 never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.

1997–2008

Japanese carrier phones

Long before Unicode had emoji, Japanese carriers shipped their own picture sets. 🆑 existed there as NTT DoCoMo E6DB, KDDI au E5AB. Those codes are why it survived into the standard at all — Unicode had to keep Japanese messages readable.

2010

Added to the standard

Cl Button was approved as U+1F191 and shipped in Emoji 0.6 (2010). Emoji 0.6 is the original 2010 batch that came over from the Japanese sets.

Today

Drawn 9 different ways

Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 🆑 is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
