The Scroll Lock key is meant to lock all scrolling techniques and is a vestige of the original IBM PC keyboard. In its original design, Scroll Lock was intended to modify the behavior of the arrow keys. When the Scroll Lock mode is on, the arrow keys scroll the contents of a text window instead of moving the cursor.
The keys have been dubbed previous page and next page, accordingly. The arrow keys and the scroll wheel can also be used to scroll a document, although usually by smaller incremental distances. Used together with a modifier key, such as Alt, ⌥ Opt, ^Ctrl or a combination thereof, they may act the same as the Page keys.

The main reason for this arrangement is that the arrow keys are not ergonomic to use with a right-handed mouse. During the early days of gaming, this was not a problem as the mouse was not used; the arrow keys controlled both movement ↑ ↓ as well as looking around ← →, with strafing done using modifier keys (usually Alt + ← →).
In this text navigation mode the ‘cursor’, often depicted as a blinking vertical line, appears within the text on-screen. The user can then navigate throughout the text by using the arrow navigation keys to cause the cursor to move; typically changing the cursor's location in increments of character position horizontally and of text line vertically.
Unicode input is method to add a specific Unicode character to a computer file; it is a common way to input characters not directly supported by a physical keyboard.
