⤂ is a left-pointing double arrow with a vertical stroke, often used to indicate direction or flow moving left.
U+2902
The symbol ⤂ (U+2902) is known as the leftwards double arrow with vertical stroke. It’s commonly used when you want a clear leftward indication—such as navigation, movement, or control-flow styling. Use it in typography, UI labels, and editors where arrow symbols help clarify direction.
Leftwards Double Arrow With Vertical Stroke Symbol Meaning
⤂ is a directional arrow symbol: it points left with a double-arrow shape, and it includes a vertical stroke. Visually, it combines “double movement” with a marker-like vertical element, which can help distinguish it from simpler arrows. In practice, people use ⤂ to suggest a leftward transition, moving back, or returning to a previous state. It can also be used in technical writing or interface text to label a control that routes actions to the left (for example, a sidebar navigation item or a flow line in a diagram).
Common uses
- •UI navigation labels to indicate moving back to the left or returning
- •Diagram annotation in workflows that route leftward
- •Text-based instructions (e.g., chat, manuals) for leftward movement
- •Design accents in headings or separators to draw attention to “back” actions
- •Developer documentation to denote leftward control-flow or state transition
