Last Track Button ⏮️

This symbol mirrors the next-track button, showing a vertical line on the left with a left-pointing triangle beside it, indicating a jump to the previous track or beginning of a sequence. The design is simple and instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with media players.

On music apps and in conversations about playlists, it means skip backwards to the previous song—the inverse of moving forward to the next track. People use it when they want to hear the last song again, didn't catch the artist's name, or simply preferred what was playing before. Beyond music, it represents going backwards through chapters, episodes, or scenes in any media. It's the "previous" button of streaming culture.

In conversation, dropping this emoji can suggest backtracking through a discussion, reviewing what was already covered, or starting over from an earlier point. It has less figurative weight than reverse or rewind, staying fairly literal in its application.

This button is subtly different from the reverse button—while reverse plays media backwards, last-track skips to a completely different track. The distinction is important in music production and podcast communities. Like the next-track button, it was approved as part of Unicode Emoji 0.7 in 2010, giving users precise control over directional navigation in digital media.
