Gamers know it as the "level up" arrow, while traders pair it with 📈 for maximum bullish energy. Use for going up, improvements, increases, or upward direction.

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 Up Arrow 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.
Can screen readers interpret ⬆️?▼
Yes. Screen readers announce emoji by their Unicode name, so ⬆️ would be read aloud as "Up Arrow." When using multiple emoji in a row, screen readers read each one individually, which can be overwhelming — so use them sparingly in accessible content.
What is the shortcode for ⬆️?▼
On platforms like Slack and Discord, you can type `:arrow_up:` to insert the Up Arrow emoji. On GitHub, the same shortcodes work in issues and comments.
