Slanted North Arrow With Hooked Head Symbol Meaning
⭚ (Unicode U+2B5A) is a slanted north arrow with a hooked head. The most common meaning is “go up” or “move north,” especially in visual labels, icons, or UI annotations where a simple arrow isn’t enough. The hooked head adds a directional flair that can help indicate a specific path or emphasis, such as a navigation cue, a link direction, or a workflow step moving upward. Because it’s an arrow character, it’s often used as a small, decorative yet functional sign—similar in intent to upward arrows in diagrams, menus, and text-based instructions.
Common uses
- •Navigation labels: marking “north/up” directions in menus or maps

- •Diagram annotations: showing direction of movement in text-based diagrams
