What does ⏏️ Eject Button mean?
A triangle above a bar, the eject symbol once used to pop out cassettes, CDs and disks. Today it is mostly figurative: getting out of a situation, leaving a party early, or ejecting someone from your life. It also carries a retro, tech-nostalgia feel. Think of it as a dramatic exit button.
⏏️ Eject Button is an emoji from the Symbols category (audio & video controls), added in Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
