Long Rightwards Squiggle Arrow Symbol Meaning
The symbol ⟿ is “Long Rightwards Squiggle Arrow” (Unicode name). Visually, it’s an arrow pointing to the right with a squiggly, winding line. That shape commonly suggests movement that isn’t perfectly straight—such as a curved route, a detour, a workaround, or an indirect connection from one step to the next. In writing and design, it can be used to add a playful emphasis or to indicate continuation in a less formal or more fluid way than a straight arrow. Its most practical value is as a directional mark that stands out without using words.
Common uses

- •Showing progression in a playful timeline or “next step” graphic
- •Highlighting a workaround or indirect connection between ideas
