What ⏩ means
Two right-pointing triangles: the fast-forward control. In chat it means skipping ahead, through a boring part or straight to the outcome.
Storytellers write '⏩ three hours later' to jump in time, and people use it to wish a dull week would hurry along. It can also mean 'speed this up' when a meeting or a process drags on.
