Rightwards Harpoon With Barb Up From Bar Symbol Meaning
⥛ (Unicode U+295B) is a rightwards harpoon-like arrow: it points to the right and includes a bar with an upward barb. In practice, people use it as a stylized directional marker for processes, navigation cues, or diagram annotations where a more “specialized” arrow is desirable. Its look can convey targeting, grabbing, or “hooking” into something while still clearly indicating direction. Because it’s uncommon compared to basic arrows, it’s also a good choice for distinctive iconography in UI mockups, posters, and educational materials.
