⏹️ Stop button emoji

A media control button for completely halting playback and typically returning to the beginning position. This symbol represents a definitive end to media consumption, different from pause which maintains position.

Essential for media players when users want to completely finish with content. People use this emoji when discussing ending media sessions, completing tasks, or when they want to indicate a definitive conclusion. It represents finality and completion.

Distinguished from ⏸️ Pause button which maintains position, stop usually resets content to the beginning and represents a more permanent cessation.
