Rightwards Harpoon With Barb Down Below Long Dash Symbol Meaning
The symbol ⥭ is a rightwards pointing harpoon-style arrow: it combines a long horizontal dash with a pointed arrowhead and a distinctive barb positioned down below. In practice, it’s used as a directional glyph for diagrams, technical mockups, and UI or graphic notation where a simple right arrow (→) feels too generic. Because its form is more specific than standard arrows, it can also help differentiate “action/transfer/pointing” states in flowcharts, alerts, or icon sets. It does not carry a single universally fixed meaning, but its most common role is indicating rightward direction with a “hook/harpoon” emphasis.
Common uses
- •Directional markers in flowcharts where a special “harpoon” arrow style is desired
