Meaning

A solid downward-pointing triangle, commonly used to indicate direction, movement down, or a decrease. In conversation it often signals scrolling down, lowering a value, or selecting the next item in a list. It can also convey a drop in status, mood, or quantity, and sometimes appears as a decorative bullet or pointer. Its meaning depends heavily on context: it may simply mark a downward option rather than express any emotion. Similar triangles pointing other ways carry related but distinct directional senses.

Downwards button — Approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010.
