Clockwise Triangle-headed Open Circle Arrow Symbol
⭮ represents a clockwise action using an open circle arrow.
U+2B6E
⭮ (CLOCKWISE TRIANGLE-HEADED OPEN CIRCLE ARROW) is an arrow symbol often used to indicate direction and motion. It can help clarify flows, loops, and navigation states. Use it when you want a clear clockwise cue in text or interfaces.
Clockwise Triangle-headed Open Circle Arrow Symbol Meaning
⭮ is a directional arrow that combines a clockwise orientation with an open circle form and a triangle arrowhead. Visually, it suggests continuing motion or a loop that proceeds in the clockwise direction. Because it’s an open-circle arrow, it’s commonly used to imply a cycle without fully closing the loop—useful for repeat actions, ongoing processes, or “rotate/move in this direction” cues. In practice, it works well in UI labels, diagrams, and instructional text where readers should immediately understand the directionality (clockwise) and that the action is arrow-like and iterative.
Common uses
- •Indicating clockwise motion in instructional text or tutorials
- •Labeling UI actions such as “rotate clockwise” or directional toggles
- •Designing process diagrams that show a repeating clockwise step
- •Marking navigation flow in apps or documents (clockwise tour, circular menu)
- •Annotating diagrams for mechanical or orientation-related concepts
