Three-d Top-lighted Leftwards Equilateral Arrowhead Symbol Meaning
⮘ (U+2B98) is a leftwards equilateral arrowhead with a three-dimensional, top-lighted appearance. In practice, it commonly signals direction to the left: navigation cues, back or previous actions, or movement/flow that heads left. Designers also use it as a decorative connector in menus, timelines, or infographics where a leftward progression is intended. Because it’s visually bold and arrow-shaped, it can replace words like “back” or “previous” in compact layouts, badges, and button labels.
Common uses
- •Button labels and UI hints for “Back” or “Previous” actions
- •Navigation breadcrumbs that move leftward (e.g., previous page)
- •Diagrams and flow charts showing movement or data flow to the left
- •Social or chat interface markers indicating replies going back
- •Graphic design accents for timelines and left-to-right transitions reversed
