Top Arc Anticlockwise Arrow With Plus Symbol Meaning
⤽ (Unicode U+293D) is titled “TOP ARC ANTICLOCKWISE ARROW WITH PLUS.” Visually, it combines two ideas: (1) an anticlockwise curved arrow at the top, indicating a counterclockwise direction or a “turn/back” style action, and (2) a plus sign, commonly associated with adding, enabling, increasing, or selecting an additional item. In practice, designers and developers use it when a counterclockwise movement concept needs to be paired with a positive/adding outcome—such as toggling a feature on, appending a step, or indicating an incremental adjustment in a menu or diagram.
Common uses
- •UI icons for enabling or adding an option that follows a counterclockwise action
- •Direction-and-increment indicators in diagrams (turn/back plus “add more”)
- •Instruction labels for editing tools where a counterclockwise adjustment increases something
- •App or game HUD hints showing a counterclockwise cycle combined with selection/add
- •Labeling workflow steps like “turn left and add” in process or tutorial graphics
