Downwards Triangle-headed Arrow With Long Tip Leftwards Symbol Meaning
⮠ (Unicode U+2BA0) is an arrow glyph that visually combines a downward-triangle-headed arrow style with a long tip pointing leftwards. In practical terms, it’s commonly used to indicate leftward movement or a direction associated with “go left,” “move left,” or “route left.” Because the shape is more specific than a basic arrow, it can also help distinguish one type of navigation, transition, or flow from other arrows in diagrams, UI mockups, or instructional text. Designers often choose it when they need a strong directional marker without using custom artwork.
Common uses
- •Indicating leftward navigation in UI labels (e.g., “Back/previous” flows)
- •Annotating diagrams or flowcharts that move step-by-step to the left
- •Marking direction in technical illustrations, dashboards, or schematics
- •Designing instructional text where “move left” needs a distinct arrow
- •Styling status or state transitions in mockups and wireframes
