What does the Fast Up Button emoji mean?

The Fast Up Button emoji (⏫) depicts a fast up button and belongs to the Symbols category of the Unicode emoji standard. It is a widely recognised symbol that works across modern devices and platforms. Unicode maps this character to U+23EB and it first shipped in Emoji 1.0 (2015). The code point ensures the same underlying meaning even though visual art varies by vendor. Symbols emojis function as visual punctuation — they structure lists, highlight ratings, add emphasis, and decorate text that would otherwise look dense. This symbol is often used to draw the eye or signal importance in otherwise plain copy. On Apple, Google, Samsung, Microsoft and other vendors the artwork differs slightly — colour palette, shading, and line weight change — but the core concept of fast up button stays identical, so the emoji remains universally readable. You can copy this emoji as the character itself (⏫), as an HTML entity (⏫), or as a shortcode (:fast-up-button:) for platforms like Slack, Discord, and GitHub.

This detailed meaning was written by the UseEmoji editorial team after reviewing Unicode CLDR data and real-world usage. For quick identification, think of this emoji as shorthand for fast up button — it conveys that idea faster than words while keeping the message friendly and scannable.
