Anticlockwise Closed Circle Arrow Symbol Meaning
⥀ (Unicode U+2940) is an arrow symbol showing a closed circular motion with an anticlockwise turn. In practice, it’s used to indicate actions like rotating or cycling in the counterclockwise direction, often in UI hints, diagrams, and instructional text. Because it’s a “closed circle” arrow, it can also imply a repeating loop rather than a one-time turn. Use it when you want a clear directional cue that emphasizes counterclockwise rotation or a leftward looping path, especially where space is limited or you need a consistent typographic symbol.
Common uses
- •Indicating counterclockwise rotation in user interface hints or settings screens
- •Labeling steps in an instruction manual that require repeating a leftward loop
- •Marking diagram directions in flowcharts or technical drawings
- •Signaling a “previous” or reverse cycle action in navigation controls (counterclockwise loop)
- •Decorating headings, badges, or status notes for iterative processes and cycles
