Fast Down Button ⏬️

The fast-down button appears as a red square or rounded rectangle displaying two downward-pointing triangles stacked vertically, mirroring the fast-up button's design but inverted. This symbol represents fast rewind or rapid downward movement in media playback controls.

In messaging, this emoji signals rewinding, going backward, or quickly reviewing something you missed. People use it when referencing "rewind that conversation," asking someone to backtrack on a topic, or metaphorically returning to a previous moment ("I wish I could fast-down to last summer"). It's also deployed when pausing to look at something important again or catching up on missed content.

Beyond literal media control, it conveys the idea of reversing course, undoing, or going back in time. The tone can range from lighthearted nostalgia to more serious "let's revisit this" scenarios. Culturally, it ties into our love of rewatching content, re-reading messages, and "going back" to check on something.

Part of Unicode Emoji 0.6 since 2010, this button remains recognizable to anyone who's used a DVR, car stereo, or video player with standard transport controls.
