Eject Button ⏏
Copy & Meaning

An eject button — the symbol for ejecting removable media (CDs, DVDs, USB drives) from a device, representing the safe removal of physical or logical storage. The eject function ensures a safe disconnect between device and media — preventing data corruption by properly completing any pending operations before removal. Mac's famous eject key and the physical disc tray button on computers use this symbol.

'Eject' in figurative use means forcibly remove or expel from a position. Used for physical media and storage discussions, the safe unmounting of drives and devices, retro computing nostalgia, and any context involving the controlled, proper separation of a device from its host system.
