= repeat → 267B ♻ black universal recycling symbol
The repeat button is your digital encore sign—two looping arrows that scream “run it back!” It’s the universal way to say you’re replaying that song, rewatching that scene, or cycling through the same to-do for the fifth time because adulthood is just levels of rinse-and-repeat. People drop it in chats when they’re hooked on a track, binging a comfort show, or reliving a moment on purpose (or by algorithm). It also doubles as a polite nudge: tell that story again, but faster and with receipts.
Online, it swings between hype and irony. Used lovingly, it means “again, again!”; used sarcastically, it’s pure “ah, here we go again” energy—perfect for drama re-runs, Monday mornings, and going back to your ex like it’s a playlist set to loop. DJs, streamers, and workout junkies use it to mark 24/7 modes; flirts send it with “date?” to suggest a sequel. Meme culture treats it like the Groundhog Day badge for life’s eternal cycles—same tea, different day.
On Apple/iOS, it appears as a glossy blue rounded square with a soft gradient, featuring two clean white arrows chasing each other in a neat clockwise rectangle-shaped loop. The arrowheads are crisp and symmetrical, instantly recognizable as the music player control you’ve seen next to shuffle. No extra symbols here (that’s the repeat single button with the tiny “1”); just the classic loop that says keep it going until further notice.
Two curved arrows forming a circle or oval by pointing to the to the other arrow's tail. A symbol for repeat, particularly when combined with a music playing application or electronic device. Rinse and repeat. To do something over and over again. Used when something is repetitive. Orientation of flow is in the clockwise direction, which means it moves in the same direction that the hand on an analog clock would spin.
