What are 'Closed Language Symbols' ?
Closed language symbols are symbols, or characters, that are from the languages of closed cultures, historically marginalised communities and non dominant cultures. Using closed language characters, if you are not from that culture, can be a form of cultural appropriation, as the language symbols lose their original meaning when used to make a profile or online space ' look pretty '. These symbols and characters should not be used for aesthetic purposes. You can check if the symbols you want to use are from closed cultures here.
