Top arrow Emoji

Symbols

A blue square button containing the word 'TOP' with a small upward-pointing arrow sitting directly above the text.

Usage Context

Frequently used to indicate the highest point of a list, the start of a thread, or to playfully suggest someone is the best. It is commonly used in social media bios or comments to urge followers to scroll back to the beginning of a conversation, often paired with the ⬆️ arrow or ☝️ finger.

History

This emoji was added in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. It is based on the 'Top' button found in early Japanese mobile phone interfaces, which allowed users to jump back to the main menu or the top of a webpage, mirroring navigation shortcuts seen in desktop browsers of the late 90s.
