So, use something else.Thanks but your 2 options are all arrows which I don't find obvious.

You can do it either by editing icon class in the template, or by adding a bit of custom CSS (to call another icon instead of the usual one). Or, you can insert your own choice of text. For example, this will leave the standard arrow icon but add text before it:
Code:
cite a:nth-of-type(2)::before { content: 'Go to the original';}
Or you can wrap the text and the arrow in brackets, which to my mind looks a bit better in that context:
Code:
cite a:nth-of-type(2)::before { content: '(Go to the original';}cite a:nth-of-type(2)::after { content: ')';}
Or you can change the content to whatever you like. The code can go in any convenient CSS file.
ETA: Incidentally, in default form that link is terrible for a11y. It has no available description of what it does, not even the dreaded title attribute. Obviously a pseudo won't help for screen readers either. It really needs a proper language string.
Out of the default language strings, the most likely suspects for hijacking are probably these:
Code:
'POST_DISPLAY'=> 'Display this post','JUMP_TO_PAGE'=> 'Jump to page',
Either of those would be a reasonable fit for this purpose. The relevant code seems to be this (prosilver/template/bbc.html):
Code:
<a href="{@msg_url}" data-msg-id="{@msg_id}">↑</a>
So you could change that to one of these options:
Code:
<a href="{@msg_url}" data-msg-id="{@msg_id}">{L_GOTO_PAGE} ↑</a>
Code:
<a href="{@msg_url}" data-msg-id="{@msg_id}">{L_POST_DISPLAY} ↑</a>
