Left Fish Tail Symbol Meaning
⥼ (LEFT FISH TAIL, U+297C) is an arrow-style symbol that visually points toward the left. Because it’s in the Arrows category, it’s most commonly used to indicate direction, movement, or a flow that goes leftward (for example, navigating back, returning, or pointing to the left). In many contexts it functions like a decorative arrow rather than a fully standardized “operator,” so the safest approach is to treat it as a visual cue whose exact meaning depends on your surrounding text or UI labels. If you need a specific arrow semantics (e.g., logic notation), consider pairing it with clear wording.
Common uses
- •UI hints for “back” or left-side navigation (alongside text labels)
- •Direction markers in diagrams, infographics, or layout guides
- •Section links or callouts that point left in documents or slide decks
- •Decorative arrow bullets in headings and lists
- •Programming or markup where an arrow-like glyph is preferred over a word
