"suppress" yes, but does this also replace "stop" emoji to " × ", am I
understanding that correctly? Why if so? To me such emoji doesn't seem
to be any better than "stop".
I imagine, best solution is to just have a clear button labeled
"suppress", as was discussed up-thread, and no one seem to have
objected. It has no misinterpretation problem. It's just I don't know
whether it would be complicated to implement…
