Dim Button
Button icon for decreasing screen brightness. Commonly used in AV devices and smartphone UIs.
The Dim Button emoji represents the control icon used to decrease screen or display brightness. It is commonly paired with the Brightness-Up Button to indicate adjustable light levels in devices such as smartphones, tablets, and remote controls. Found in multimedia players and system settings menus, this symbol conveys brightness reduction quickly without text. On many interfaces, the icon features a sun or ray graphic diminished by a smaller size or fewer lines. Assigned Unicode code point U+1F505, the Dim Button is part of the AV Symbols subgroup in the Symbols category. It can be used in conversations to indicate lowering the brightness of images or videos, or metaphorically to suggest toning down intensity. Designers may vary the icon's style by changing the number of rays or adding downwards arrows to enhance clarity.
