A leftwards double-headed arrow with a tail and a vertical stroke, useful for indicating movement or bidirectional linkage to the left.
U+2B3C
⬼ (U+2B3C) is an arrow symbol from the “Arrows” category. Its shape combines a two-headed leftward direction with additional structure (a tail and a vertical stroke). Use it in UI text, diagrams, or captions where a clear left-directed arrow is needed.
Leftwards Two-headed Arrow With Tail With Vertical Stroke Symbol Meaning
⬼ is a leftwards arrow that has two heads, which commonly suggests a direction toward the left while emphasizing transfer, linkage, or interaction along that leftward axis. The “tail” and “vertical stroke” add visual weight and can help distinguish it from simpler left arrows in icons, labels, and technical-style annotations. In practice, people use it when they want something more specific than “←”, such as showing flow, movement, routing, or a left-side relationship in text-only contexts.
Common uses
- •Labeling UI navigation that moves to the left (e.g., previous/left panel actions)
- •Indicating data flow toward the left in text diagrams or documentation
- •Marking bidirectional or paired operations where both sides relate to the left direction
- •Decorating captions for arrows-in-graphs used in presentations or worksheets
- •Signposting interactions in chat or help text (e.g., “go back/left to view”)
