A black arrow pointing to the upper right. On Twitter / X it's the signature emoji for calling out a ratio — when a quote-tweet or reply gets vastly more engagement than the original post. Screenshotting the original alongside the dunking reply, captioned ↗️, signals "you got ratio'd". Almost meaningless outside of X.

When a reply to a post gets more likes than the original — signaling the replier dunked on the poster. "You're getting ratio'd" is a taunt. Twitter's public-shaming format inverted: the audience writes the verdict via like counts, then notifies the original poster.
Past tense of being 'ratioed' — your post got more quote-tweets or replies than likes/retweets, indicating people are dunking on it more than agreeing. Originated on Twitter but is now used in Twitch chat, Discord, and Reddit any time someone gets dogpiled. 'Get ratioed' has become a generic dismissal.
The full story arc of a public figure or account getting progressively, repeatedly ratioed over a series of posts until their credibility visibly crumbles. A ratio arc is social media drama in slow motion — each new post from the person gets worse engagement, the replies grow more hostile, and the audience watches the collapse unfold in real time. It can span hours or days, and dedicated observers will document every chapter. Some people never recover from a full ratio arc; the numbers become part of their permanent online reputation.
