How it's used
Refers specifically to decorative or commemorative pins worn on clothing or bags. Unlike formal medals or heavy metal insignia, this term is most commonly used for the small, often circular or novelty pins collected by students or fans.

Do not confuse this with 徽章, which is a more formal or generic term for an emblem or insignia that might be printed on a uniform or official document rather than physically pinned on.
