Left Barb Down Right Barb Up Harpoon Symbol Meaning
⥋ is named “LEFT BARB DOWN RIGHT BARB UP HARPOON.” Visually, it suggests a forceful, barbed, or “hooked” exchange between two directions: one side has a barb pointing down on the left, while the other side has a barb pointing up on the right. Because it’s an arrow-like glyph, people often use it to indicate movement, a push/pull relationship, a connection with a direction change, or a stylized “interaction” between two items. It’s most commonly treated as a decorative directional symbol in text rather than a formal mathematical operator.
Common uses
- •Decorating diagrams or flow text where you want a stylized arrow look
- •Marking exchanges or interactions between two entities in instructions or notes
- •Designing headings, labels, or infographics with a distinctive directional glyph
- •Using in plain text UI elements (e.g., mapping states or transitions)
- •Adding emphasis in writing where a stronger arrow than → is useful
