Rightwards Arrow With Stroke Symbol Meaning
The character ↛ (Unicode name: RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH STROKE, U+219B) is a right-pointing arrow that includes a diagonal/short stroke, which visually communicates “not” or “no” in the direction. In practice, it’s often used to suggest that movement or action to the right is disallowed (a “no right” or “not allowed to proceed” cue). You may also see it in technical notes and diagrams to indicate an invalid step or a blocked transition. Because it’s directional, it can be clearer than a plain cross mark when the idea specifically involves moving to the right.
Common uses
- •UI and app messaging to indicate “rightward action not permitted” (e.g., navigation blocked)
- •Instruction labels in diagrams or workflows where a transition to the right is invalid
- •Warnings and status indicators in dashboards (e.g., “cannot proceed to the right”)
- •Game design and puzzle diagrams to mark blocked moves or restricted paths
- •Accessibility-minded text alternatives for icon sets that represent “no right” or “stop direction”
