Remark 11.5.0.83. Let $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be a category. Then an object $Y \in \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ is initial if and only if it is a colimit of the unique diagram $\emptyset \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$; here $\emptyset $ denotes the category with no objects. Similarly, an object $Y \in \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ is final if and only if it is a limit of the unique diagram $\emptyset \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$.
