What 🈶 means
In Japan, 有 appears in words like 有料 (yūryō), meaning paid or with a charge, which is why the emoji is used for paid services, entry fees or paid parking. It is the opposite of 🈚, which means free. Because 有 also means "have" in Chinese, some Chinese-speaking users send it to say "have" or "there is".
