Black Medium Left-pointing Triangle Centred Symbol Meaning
⯇ is a black medium left-pointing triangle centred (Unicode U+2BC7). Visually, it functions like an arrowhead pointing to the left, but it’s specifically a triangle rather than a chevron or classic arrow. In writing and interfaces, it’s often used to indicate “back,” “previous,” or “move left.” Because it’s a simple, solid shape, it can work well as a compact direction marker in lists, timelines, breadcrumbs, buttons, or inline labels. Use it when you want a clean, high-contrast indicator that reads clearly at small sizes.
Common uses

- •Breadcrumbs or step indicators to show where you came from
- •Timeline or slideshow controls pointing to earlier items
