small square with an arrow pointing to the upper right corner

On a webpage, what does a small square with an arrow pointing to the upper right corner mean?

It's used on Google translate when one has entered a url instead of words.

And a Maryland state url said it would mean the browswer was out of date.

And in a newspaper column link, it's a symbol that just goes with "View Converstiion, but seems to have no special meaning.

In windows speak (like media player) it means go full screen.

Well, the last one, View conversation..., is sort of like that.

And I guess google translate is a little bit like that.

. . . I think it means . . . . . . in the always totally universally standard meaning of global internet stuff - " move your curser over it and read " .. but I might be wrong ... it happened once .. John T.
