A button used for skipping to the next track in a playlist. Emoji

Symbols

Two right-pointing triangles placed side-by-side, usually featuring a vertical line on the right edge. This icon depicts the standard control found on media players to jump forward to the following segment of a recording.

Usage Context

Used to signal a desire to move on, speed up a conversation, or skip ahead in a digital queue. It is the go-to way to tell someone to move to the next topic or song, often paired with ⏯ or ⏮ when discussing media playback or pacing.

History

These symbols emerged from the standardization of tape decks and VCR controls in the 1970s and 80s. When digital media players moved onto computer screens, the interface designers kept these icons because they were already universally recognized by anyone who had used a cassette or CD player.
