Japanese “monthly amount” button

This emoji incorporates the Japanese character for "month" (tsuki). It's used to represent the moon, monthly subscriptions, or similar concepts.

This can be used when discussing recurring monthly activities or subscription services. It's also used to indicate regularly scheduled events, much like marking something on a calendar.

This emoji originates from Japan's special character system known as "Geta mark" (げたきごう). The square surrounding the character for "month" (月) indicates a business or service-related symbol, and is specifically used to represent monthly fees or regular subscriptions.

In today's subscription economy, this emoji has taken on a new meaning. It's used when discussing monthly subscription services like Netflix or Spotify, and in Asia, it's frequently used when talking about monthly magazine or webtoon subscriptions.
