What ⏪ means
Two left-pointing triangles: the rewind control. People use it to mean going back in time, replaying a moment, or taking something back.
Throwback posts open with ⏪ before an old photo, and friends use it to ask for a story from the beginning. 'Rewind, what did you just say?' is the typical tone: surprise that wants a replay.
