How to Use Reverse Button
To use the Reverse Button symbol (◀️) in HTML, insert the
entity ◀️ directly into your markup.
In CSS pseudo-elements use content: '\25C0';.
In JavaScript and TypeScript the escape '\u25C0' evaluates to ◀️. In Python source, write '\u25C0'.
The character encodes to E2 97 80 as UTF-8 bytes and 25C0 as UTF-16 code units. Its decimal codepoint is 9664.
This is a fully-qualified emoji and should render with colour on iOS, Android, Windows and macOS. Appearance may vary between platforms, but the underlying codepoint is identical everywhere.
