Short Slanted North Arrow Symbol Meaning
⭎ (U+2B4E) is a “north” arrow character with a short, slanted design. In everyday use, it commonly signals direction upward or toward a “top” location on a map, plan, diagram, or interface. Because it’s an arrow, it can also represent movement, navigation, or a directional cue in lists, labels, and status indicators. Designers often prefer it when they want an arrow that looks like a lightweight symbol (not a long, dramatic arrow) and fits neatly into tight UI elements or typography.
Common uses
- •Map labels to indicate the north/up direction
- •UI direction cues for scrolling or moving to the top
- •Diagram annotations for “upward” movement or routing
- •Text-based navigation in chat or command menus
