A person crossing their arms in an X shape to gesture 'no,' widely used to reject an idea, refuse a request, or flag something as wrong/forbidden — much like a human 'do not enter' sign. It reads clearly across cultures since the X-arm gesture for 'no' is common in East Asian service contexts (like a shop clerk signaling 'sold out'). Trivia: this gesture is instantly recognizable partly because it mirrors the exact pose Japanese retail and hospitality workers use in person, which is where the emoji's visual language originated.
