# TextSelectionAffinity.upstream

An upstream selection affinity. In this case, the cursor is associated with the character immediately before it.

## Declaration

```swift
case upstream
```

## Discussion

Discussion In the context of our example  hello|مرحبا, with an upstream affinity, the cursor would be associated with the “o” from “hello”. If you were to type in English, the characters would continue to be added after the “o” in “hello”.
