Up Barb Right Down Barb Right Harpoon Symbol Meaning
⥏ is an arrow glyph that combines rightward direction with distinctive barbed, harpoon-like tips. The unicode name describes its form: it features an “up barb” and a “down barb” around a right-pointing harpoon shape. In practice, people use it to suggest a stronger or more forceful “go to / lead into / move toward” idea than a simple right arrow. It can also work as a visual separator in notes, step lists, or flow-style text to show a transition or linkage from one item to the next.
