Interesting Fact

Japanese train stations, parks, and public buildings often display signs such as ็ฆ็…™ (No Smoking) and ็ซ‹ๅ…ฅ็ฆๆญข (No Entry), making ็ฆ one of the most recognizable public notice kanji.

Imagine a large red sign blocking your way. It clearly tells everyone 'Do not enter!' That warning helps you remember ็ฆ means 'to prohibit' or 'to forbid.'
