The ✂ symbol depicts a pair of open scissors, originally introduced to Unicode from the classic ITC Zapf Dingbats font. Typographers and designers frequently use it alongside dashed lines to indicate coupons or tear-off sections in printed materials. In digital messaging, it commonly represents haircuts, arts and crafts, or the action of cutting text and editing content.
