Separated Symbol Symbol Meaning
⯻ (Unicode U+2BFB, named “SEPARATED SYMBOL”) is a typographic character often used as a visual separator. Depending on your design or writing style, it can suggest that content is divided, distinct, or “cut apart” (for example, separating two phrases, columns, or steps). Because it’s an arrow-category character, some layouts also use it in directional or flow-like annotations, even when the intent is purely decorative. It’s most commonly chosen when you want a compact, single-character mark rather than a longer divider like “—” or “|”.
Common uses
- •Use as a compact divider between headings and subheadings in a single line.
- •Separate steps or phases in a process list (e.g., Draft ⯻ Review).
- •Add a stylized separator in UI labels, tooltips, or legend text.
- •Create emphasis in social media captions by splitting phrases with a single glyph.
- •Use in technical or editor annotations to mark “before/after” sections.
