Common Misunderstandings of đ§
Misinterpretation as a permanent barrier
While it indicates a barrier, it usually implies a temporary situation, not a permanent blockage.
Tip: If you mean a permanent barrier, consider using đĢ (no entry) or đ (stop sign) with clarifying text.
Overuse for minor changes
Using đ§ for very minor updates or small changes might overstate the scope of the work.
Tip: Reserve đ§ for significant development, maintenance, or actual physical construction. For minor updates, text descriptions might be more appropriate.
