U+23ED "⏭" Black Right-Pointing Double Triangle with Vertical Bar Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+23ED "⏭" Black Right-Pointing Double Triangle with Vertical Bar is a standardized symbol used in digital media and user interface design to represent the "skip to next track" or "next chapter" function, typically found on audio and video players. Its design combines two right-pointing triangles, indicating fast forward, with a vertical bar on the left, which distinguishes it from a simple fast-forward icon by implying a jump to the beginning of the following item rather than a continuous forward scan. This character belongs to the Miscellaneous Technical block of Unicode, a range dedicated to depicting common technical symbols and controls. As a text-based representation, it allows for consistent usage across different platforms and devices, ensuring that the skip command is universally recognizable without relying on proprietary graphics.
