Up Fish Tail Symbol Meaning
⥾ is categorized as an Arrows symbol and is known by its Unicode name, “UP FISH TAIL” (U+297E). Visually, it reads as an upward-pointing arrow with a distinctive tail shape, making it useful when you want a directional marker that feels more ornamental than a plain caret or simple arrow. In practice, people use it to indicate movement upward, highlight an active “go up” action, or add a stylistic accent in headings, lists, or interfaces.
