Fast Up Button ⏫️

The fast-up button displays as a red square or rounded rectangle containing two upward-pointing triangles stacked vertically, resembling the skip-forward controls found on older media players and car stereos. This symbol represents the fast-forward or accelerated upward function in audio and video playback.

In modern messaging and social media, people use this symbol to indicate speeding up, moving quickly through content, or skipping ahead. It's commonly deployed when someone wants to "skip to the good part" of a story, rush through a process, or express impatience with waiting. You'll see it in captions like "skip intro" or when people want to fast-forward through a tedious situation.

The button works both literally—in media player interfaces—and metaphorically in casual conversation. It can suggest urgency, enthusiasm for what's coming next, or a desire to move past something boring or unpleasant.

Approved as part of Unicode Emoji 0.6 in 2010, this button remains a staple symbol for anyone familiar with traditional media controls, though fewer people interact with physical media players today.
