Arrow Pointing Downwards Then Curving Leftwards Symbol Meaning
⤶ (Unicode U+2936) is an arrow symbol named “ARROW POINTING DOWNWARDS THEN CURVING LEFTWARDS.” Visually, it starts by pointing downward and then curves toward the left, making it useful for indicating a path change rather than a straight direction. In practice, it can represent turning at a junction, rerouting, or a step that transitions from one lane or area to another. Designers often use it in small UI labels, flow-diagram annotations, and instructional text where space is limited. Because it conveys both direction and a bend, it helps communicate “go down, then move left” quickly.
Common uses
- •Labeling UI navigation steps that involve a downward move followed by a left turn
- •Annotating diagrams where a route curves left after going down
- •Marking items on flowcharts to show a change of direction in a single symbol
- •Adding directional hints in instructional text or onboarding guides
- •Designing icons and badges for navigation, rerouting, or “turn after drop” actions
