Up Barb Left Down Barb Right Harpoon Symbol Meaning
⥍ (U+294D) is named “UP BARB LEFT DOWN BARB RIGHT HARPOON.” Visually, it presents a harpoon-like arrow motif with barbs pointing in opposite directions, which many users interpret as directional flow, coupling, or movement between two points. Because it’s an uncommon, highly specific glyph, it’s most useful when you want a distinctive arrow mark rather than a standard arrow character. In practice, it can function as a directional connector in diagrams, UI labels, or typography where you want an ornamental “harpoon” arrow style instead of plain → or ←.
Common uses
