Left Barb Up Right Barb Down Harpoon Symbol Meaning
⥊ (U+294A) is named “LEFT BARB UP RIGHT BARB DOWN HARPOON.” Visually, it resembles a harpoon or barbed direction indicator: one barb is oriented upward on the left side while the other is oriented downward on the right side. Because it’s specifically a harpoon/barb arrow design, it’s commonly used as a stylized directional cue in text, UI labels, and diagram annotations where a standard arrow (→, ↔) feels too generic. It can also be used as a decorative glyph in headings, banners, or icon-like separators to convey motion, direction, or a “hooking”/aiming feel.
Common uses
- •Decorative directional separators in headings or section breaks
- •UI and dashboard labels for a “target/aim” action
- •Diagram annotations to distinguish a special arrow direction or flow
- •Social posts or thumbnails where a distinctive arrow mark improves readability
- •Design mockups as a compact icon-like symbol for motion or interaction
