stop button

This button is used to stop playing music or videos. It's characterized by a black square shape.

It's easily found on remote controls or music apps. Unlike pause, it represents a complete stop.

This button has been used on cassette players since the 1960s. Its meaning as a universal "stop" symbol has continued into the digital age.

On modern multimedia devices, it not only stops playback but also signifies a complete halt of the current operation, returning to the initial state. It's widely used in this sense in programs and games as well.
