BACK arrow

This arrow emoji represents going back. It is often used to return to the previous page on websites or apps.

Click this arrow to go back to the previous screen on your smartphone or computer. Young people these days also use this emoji on social media or messengers to express the desire to go back.

The "back" button, a basic element of digital interfaces, became common in the early 1990s with the advent of web browsers. The left-pointing arrow is related to the Western writing direction.

This arrow not only indicates direction but also symbolizes the flow of time. It is also used to express a return to the past or a desire to undo a mistake, and recently it has also been used to mean "Back to the basics."
