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
  • Section headers or callouts to suggest where to go next (north/up)
