Bent Arrow Pointing Downwards Then North East Symbol Meaning
⭞ is a directional arrow character named “BENT ARROW POINTING DOWNWARDS THEN NORTH EAST” (U+2B5E). Visually, it suggests a movement or path that starts by going downward and then turns toward the north east (up-right). In practice, this can represent a routed path, a multi-stage direction, a step that descends before progressing upward, or an instruction where direction changes during the action. Because it’s a standalone Unicode symbol, it’s convenient for labels and lightweight diagrams in text, chat, documentation, and user interfaces where a full arrow graphic would be too heavy.
Common uses
- •Labeling a two-part route that goes down then up-right in diagrams and schematics
- •Indicating a UI navigation cue or flow step where direction changes mid-action
- •Marking steps in a workflow where an item is moved down before proceeding up-right
- •Adding directional emphasis in instructions, alerts, or documentation
- •Creating lightweight icons in text-based mockups and design annotations
