Anticlockwise Triangle-headed Right U-shaped Arrow Symbol Meaning
⮌ is an arrow character named “ANTICLOCKWISE TRIANGLE-HEADED RIGHT U-SHAPED ARROW.” Visually, it combines a triangular arrowhead with a U-shaped curve and an anticlockwise turning sense, oriented to the right. In everyday usage, it commonly signals a directional action such as returning, rerouting, making a curved turn, or following an “around-and-back” path. Designers often choose it for wayfinding cues, diagram annotations, navigation hints, or interface icons where standard straight arrows don’t fit. Because it’s a single Unicode character, it works well in labels, buttons, and inline text.
