Japanese “here” button emoji meaning

The Japanese "here" button emoji is a blue square featuring the Japanese katakana characters ココ, which are read as "koko" and mean "here" in English. This emoji is commonly used to highlight a specific location, indicate presence, or draw attention to a particular spot, much like saying "I am here" or "Look here." It is especially useful in contexts where you want to emphasize a place or point out something in Japanese language or culture. The design and meaning make it a unique symbol often associated with maps, directions, or visual markers.
