= play arrow up → 25B4 ▴ black up-pointing small triangle
Information
The upwards button is the tiny triangle that screams “to the top!”—your elevator-to-the-timeline penthouse suite. It’s the go-to when you’re nudging someone to scroll up and actually read, celebrating a glow-up, or flexing that your team/portfolio/mood is trending north. In meme-speak it doubles as “we up,” “ascend,” or the dramatic “rise, my child,” and it pairs perfectly with its moody sibling, the downwards button, for sarcasm and scoreboard energy. You’ll also see it used as a stand‑in for an upvote vibe, stock chart optimism, or that moment when the group chat goes from quiet to caps lock.
On Apple/iOS, it’s a petite upward-pointing triangle centered inside a rounded, button‑like square with a warm gradient—very tapable, very elevator-panel chic. The triangle is small and sharp, visually tidy, and instantly recognizable next to its downward counterpart, like a pair of lift controls in emoji cosplay. It evokes “back to top” UI buttons, old-school MP3 player controls, and that universal urge to level up. Drop it when you want to escalate the convo, send encouragement, or—let’s be honest—politely (or not) tell someone to scroll up, bestie.

White triangles on blue backgrounds are red triangles, everybody knows that! Seriously though, that is the emoji's name I didn't write it.
