English

Description

Depiction of a knot (but see usage notes).

Etymology

The first sense is derived from the absence of an emoji or Unicode character for a rope; rather, this symbol specifically represents a knot.

The second and fifth senses are puns, and the third and fourth are metonyms; the former is derived from the use of rope as a method of suicide.

Symbol

🪢 (Internet slang)

1. Rope.
2. (literal, uncommon) Not.
3. (euphemistic, rare) Filter-avoidance spelling of suicide.

Usage notes

• As an emoji, the design of 🪢 greatly varies by operating system/platform. However, most depictions are generally brightly-coloured and show either a square knot, figure-eight knot, or a carrick bend.
