What ⏏️ means

A triangle on top of a bar: the eject key from tape decks, disc drives and old laptops. In chat it means get out, remove, or leave.

People joke about hitting ⏏️ to bail out of a party, a group chat or a bad situation, like a pilot's ejection seat. Tech users still use it for safely removing a drive, and it carries a little retro charm.
