reverse button
A solid left-pointing triangle, commonly used as a media control symbol for rewind, previous track, or reverse playback
Meaning
A solid left-pointing triangle, commonly used as a media control symbol for rewind, previous track, or reverse playback. In conversation it often indicates going back, returning to an earlier point, or moving leftward. It can also mark a backward step in instructions or sequences. Because it resembles a play button flipped, it is sometimes used loosely for any leftward or backward direction rather than a specific function. Its meaning depends heavily on context, so it can be read as navigation, media control, or simple directional emphasis.
