Blood type B gets its own red-and-white badge here, one of four types on a Japanese donor card, but online it's better known as a meme letter. People swap it in for the letter B in words like Mario purely because the squared glyph reads funnier than a plain one. The blood-type badge is still what the emoji was actually built for.
What π ±οΈ means
A button emoji similar to the π °οΈ A Button, but with a capital replacement of the 'A' with a 'B'. The π ±οΈ B Button (Blood Type) emoji is a reference to the 'B' blood group, encompassing both the negative and the positive variations.
How and when to use it
- Contradicting the stats of the 'A' blood type, π ±οΈ is one of the rarest blood types ('negative' being rarer than 'positive'). So, if you're a "creative emoji-user", you could drop in the π ±οΈ while speaking of rarity. For instance, "You're rare. You're existence as a human is rare π ±οΈ".
- Picking up from the name of π ±οΈ - B Button (Blood Type), this emoji signifies a button; a mode of selection and choice (ironic, yes). However, if you are referring to any other expansion for π ±οΈ and you're informing your audience to choose the same, use this emoji.
- Examples for the previous point - "GUYS! Remember. Tomorrow at the voting booth, it's π ±οΈ for Becca as Student Council Head, got it?" or "When you have the choice, why don't you choose to π ±οΈ positive!".
- If you're using an abbreviation or an acronym that has a 'B' in it, π ±οΈ would be a cute substitute. This applies even if your name begins with a 'B' and you want that extra dash of color on your social media profile.
