U+2B8E

Anticlockwise Triangle-headed Left U-shaped Arrow Symbol Meaning
⮎ represents an arrow that is both curved (a U-shape) and directionally oriented to the left, with an anticlockwise sense. In practice, it’s commonly used to suggest “turn left,” “go around,” or “loop back” behavior in a concise visual form. Designers and writers may include it in instructions, navigation hints, or diagram legends where a looping leftward movement is clearer than a straight arrow. Because it’s a single Unicode character, it works well for lightweight iconography inside buttons, labels, captions, and inline text without needing an external image.
Common uses
- •Instruction text for turning or rerouting left in a flow or process
- •UI labels for navigation elements that loop back leftward
- •Diagram annotations where a curved leftward/looping path is needed
- •Game or app messaging to indicate an anticlockwise left turn
- •Icon-like bullet markers for steps that involve looping left
