= reload
The counterclockwise arrows button is the internet’s universal “do it again” symbol—your go-to for refresh, redo, retry, and run-it-back energy. It’s what you send when you’re reloading the tea, replaying that chorus for the 37th time, or acknowledging that life is stuck on Groundhog Day mode. In texts and tweets, it doubles as a sarcastic sigh—here we go again—perfect for cyclical drama, recurring work crises, or Mercury-in-retrograde déjà vu. It can also be a friendly nudge: repost that, update me, loop the video, spin the block, one more round.
Two curved arrows forming a circle or oval by pointing to the to the other arrow's tail. Orientation of flow is in the counterclockwise direction (anticlockwise), which means it moves in the opposite direction that the hand on an analog clock would spin. Used as a symbol for reload, such as a software program or information disk. Also used to say "do it again" or to communicate a cycle or process.
