--- Comment #4 from mroe <mr...@gmx.net> ---
arcsin() is the inverse function to sin().
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcsin
There is also an explanation of the problems using an negative exponent.

But YES: A button for an inverse function should show what it produces.

If you prefer the other notation simply use sin^-1(x).
