Top Arc Clockwise Arrow With Minus Symbol Meaning
The symbol “⤼” is named “TOP ARC CLOCKWISE ARROW WITH MINUS” (Unicode code point U+293C). Visually, it combines a clockwise curved (arc) arrow with a minus sign. In practical writing and UI contexts, it most often suggests a clockwise action that is paired with removal, reduction, or subtraction—such as turning a control in one direction while decreasing a value. Because this is a specific Unicode character rather than a widely standardized icon used across all platforms, its exact intent can vary by designer or application. When used, it’s best to pair it with nearby text (e.g., “reduce,” “minus,” or “turn clockwise”) for clarity.
Common uses
- •UI hints for a control that turns clockwise to decrease or subtract
- •Labels for settings like “reduce,” “lower,” or “minus” actions
