Leftwards Arrow With Tip Upwards Symbol Meaning
⬑ (LEFTWARDS ARROW WITH TIP UPWARDS) is a left-pointing arrow whose arrowhead is angled upward. Visually, it suggests direction to the left while adding a slight upward emphasis, which can help distinguish it from a plain left arrow. It’s often used in interfaces and diagrams where different arrow variants represent different kinds of actions or movements (for example, “go left” combined with a “rising” or “highlighted” cue). In plain text, it can also serve as a typographic marker for steps, instructions, or navigation labels. For developers, it corresponds to Unicode code point U+2B11.
