Leftwards Triangle-headed Arrow With Narrow Shaft Symbol Meaning
🠠 is a directional arrow that points left. Visually, it suggests “move left,” “go to the previous item,” or “flow/transition to the left” in diagrams and interfaces. Because the arrow has a distinct triangle head and narrow shaft, it can look more precise than a generic arrow in icons, UI labels, and technical-looking illustrations. In writing and design contexts, it’s often paired with right-pointing arrows or used to contrast left vs. right navigation. It may also be used metaphorically in layout and workflow descriptions, but its most practical meaning is leftward direction.
Common uses
- •UI navigation labels like “Back” or “Previous” in menus and toolbars
- •Diagrams that show data flow or process steps moving left
- •Instruction text for moving elements toward the left (e.g., in editors or controls)
