Anticlockwise Triangle-headed Open Circle Arrow Symbol Meaning
⭯ is the Unicode character named “ANTICLOCKWISE TRIANGLE-HEADED OPEN CIRCLE ARROW” (U+2B6F). Visually, it combines an arrowhead with an open circle, commonly suggesting turning or moving in an anticlockwise direction. In practice, people use it in diagrams, UI hints, and labels where “go back,” “rotate left,” or “reverse direction” needs a compact symbol instead of words. Because it’s specifically an anticlockwise arrow, it can be clearer than generic arrow icons when leftward rotation or backward navigation is the intent. It’s most often seen in technical drawings, instructional text, and navigation or settings contexts.
Common uses
- •Labeling left/anticlockwise rotation steps in instructions
- •Indicating backward navigation or return direction in UI text
