I sent a friend a text. It went through but I notice there is a bell with a slash through it next to my message/text. Does this mean his notifications are turned off. Or something else?

The icon showing the bell with the slash through it, means that the notification will be silenced when you tap that icon. The icon showing the bell without the slash through it means that the notification will be activated when you tap that icon.
What is the bell with a line through it on Snapchat? Seeing the icon of a bell with a line through it next to a friend's chat, indicates that you've muted that particular chat. It acts as a visual cue, informing you that you won't receive alerts when the muted friend sends you a message or snap.
If you see a green bubble, that could indicate someone blocked you, especially if your chats with this person used to be blue. This is only true if both of you use iMessage on iPhones. If the other person switched to an Android phone, their bubble may have turned green.
This symbol means that you will not get notifications from this contact. You can turn this off by right-clicking on the contact, going to chat settings, and turning the notifications switch on.
Go to your iPhone 15 Pro's Control Center, and if the silent mode button is white with its sliced bell icon in red color, that means your phone is in silent mode. You can tap it to return to ring mode.
To mute message notifications, go to "Chat" → tap and hold a user → "Chat Settings" → switch off "Message Notifications". To mute a user's Story, go to "Chat" → tap and hold a user → "Story Settings" → toggle on "Mute Story". Snapchat users who are muted will not be notified.
If you have been blocked, then you will not be able to see anything that the person has posted or even be able to send a snap to them. With blocking, you are cutting all your connections with that person. If you have been removed or unadded, you can still see that user's profile and access your saved conversations.
There are a couple of things you might have to do: In most cases, you'll have to go to Settings > Notifications, select the app you want to control, then toggle on Allow Notifications and Sounds if they're not already active. You can also customize how notifications will look, including badges.
