A Emoji

🅰️, officially named A Button (Blood Type), is one of the many emojis on the Internet. Its primary design consists of the A letter on a red background. A Button (Blood Type) was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 with code point “U+1F170” in 2010 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.

In the context of NekoCulture, it is one of the earliest Nekori memes, introduced in December 2023¹, along with Nekori Moments. Initially regarded by Nekori as a “shouting emoji”, the A Button emoji has since became popular among Nekori Fans, and over time variations of it have been made by Nekori and others.
