Downwards Arrow To Bar Symbol Meaning
The symbol ⤓ (Unicode U+2913), named “DOWNWARDS ARROW TO BAR,” visually combines a downward arrow with a base bar. In practice, it’s most often used to imply downloading or a “move down” action—especially in buttons, links, and status messages. Because it resembles the idea of taking content from above and placing it below (or retrieving it), designers frequently pair it with words like “Download,” “Save,” “Import,” or “Next.” It’s also suitable for indicating downward progression in menus, lists, or settings panels where a clear, compact glyph helps users scan quickly.
Common uses
- •Download buttons or links labeled “Download”
- •Import or save actions in web and mobile interfaces
- •Navigation cues for moving to the next lower section or step
- •Status messages like “Updating… ⤓” to signal progress direction
- •Document UI icons to indicate “move down” or “expand/down” actions
