🔃

Clockwise Vertical Arrows Emoji 🔃

Two arrows stacked on a vertical loop, one up and one down, chasing each other clockwise. It's the refresh icon: pull down to reload a feed, sync a file, restart something that's stalled, and it's distinct from 🔄, whose two arrows curl into a full circle instead of a stacked loop.

What 🔃 means

A combination emoji consisting of the mirrored versions of the ⤴️ Right Arrow Curving Up and the ⤵️ Right Arrow Curving Down in a fitting manner, like a puzzle.

The 🔃 Clockwise Vertical Arrow emoji could symbolize repetition in all forms; video replays, resending text messages and emails, etc. Hence, this emoji could symbolize routine, and consistency too.

How and when to use it

If you're texting your buddy about how you've been listening to that song on loop, use 🔃 (it can be for anything, of course). Like, "Man. I've fallen in love with that Ted Talk. I've been playing it continuously 🔃" or "You predicted it. Yes, I've successfully played it a 100 times 🔃".
If you're sharing a post on the importance of a routine, a repost providing tips and motivation for the same or even a random post blessing up your routine, you may bring in 🔃. For instance, "Your routine defines your self-discipline 🔃. Period".
Is there something that you keep doing over and over again? A repetitive mode of lifestyle, whether you like it or not? If so, you could use 🔃 to condense that experience into an emoji. For example, "Work is routine. If you're going to be doing it over and over again 🔃, might as well find something you'd love doing at least".
Apart from resending 'failed' text messages and emails interrupted with terrible internet connectivity, 🔃 could be used as a symbol for 'retweets' and 'reposts' too.
