Down-right Arrow Emoji ↘️

An arrow angled down and to the right, the reverse of ↗️ Up-Right Arrow and the diagonal that reads as decline. It's the pick when a number is sliding rather than crashing, a stock cooling off after a high, a stat easing downward instead of dropping off a cliff the way ⬇️ Down Arrow would.

What ↘️ means

A downward arrow within a blue box-like structure blunted at the corners, pointing to the right in the same direction. The ↘️ Down-Right Arrow emoji indicates the south-east geographic direction apart from a tangential low.

How and when to use it

↘️ could symbolize something or someone who's headed for a steep low. If you're texting someone, sharing a post with a caption or even a social media story resonating with the same, use this emoji. Like, "Idk about you, but I don't think this would be progressive for both of us ↘️".
You could use ↘️ even while talking about regression, or a sense of coming down from a short-lived high (or a long-lasting one). For example, "I'm a strong believer of regressing to the mean ↘️" or "If not anything, just don't regress back to the same place you fled ↘️".
If you're sharing a post or a repost on the 'downfall' or just a 'fall' of something or someone, then too, ↘️ could come in handy. For instance, "After two years of unaccounted power, he has fallen ↘️".
Speaking of being 'fallen', ↘️ can be used metaphorically or idiomatically too - "A fallen angel sketch for the first time! ↘️".

How it looks across platforms

Seeing a blank box instead of the emoji somewhere? Here's why that happens. Curious why the designs above don't match to begin with? Here's why that happens too.
