Frequently Asked Questions
What does 🔽 mean in a text message?▼
Nothing beats a small downward arrow, representing decrease, scrolling down, or minor downward direction. Use for small decreases, scrolling down, or compact downward indicators. The tone can shift depending on context — a message to a friend reads differently than one to a coworker.
What is the official Unicode name for 🔽?▼
Each emoji has an official name assigned by the Unicode Consortium, which may differ from common names used in apps. The Downwards Button emoji's official designation is listed in the Unicode CLDR (Common Locale Data Repository). Shortcode names like those on Slack or Discord are platform-specific.

Yes. Screen readers announce emoji by their Unicode name, so 🔽 would be read aloud as "Downwards Button." When using multiple emoji in a row, screen readers read each one individually, which can be overwhelming — so use them sparingly in accessible content.
