Return Left Symbol Meaning
⮐ (Unicode U+2B90, “RETURN LEFT”) is a directional arrow that suggests returning or moving back toward the left. It visually communicates a “back/return” action combined with leftward direction, making it useful for controls, navigation hints, and annotated diagrams. In practice, writers and designers may use it to label steps like “return left” in process flows, game instructions, or map directions. Its arrow styling also makes it suitable for status or control labels where a leftward reversal or retreat is implied. Keep the symbol near the text it modifies for best readability.
