BACK arrow
BACK arrow meaning
An arrow with the word BACK. It is one of a small family of English-word arrows (BACK, END, ON, SOON, TOP) that exist because Japanese carriers included them in the original emoji sets. They are functional signage rather than expression, and their English text makes them a slightly odd fit in a supposedly language-neutral standard.
