Upwards Arrow With Horizontal Stroke Symbol Meaning
⤉ (UPWARDS ARROW WITH HORIZONTAL STROKE, U+2909) visually combines an upward arrow with a horizontal bar. In everyday writing and interface text, it often signals an action related to moving up or reversing a downward step. The horizontal stroke can also imply emphasis or a “toggle/adjust” feel—making it useful for menu hints, status notes, or instructions where you want a clear directional cue. Because it’s a specialized symbol, it’s most effective when used sparingly alongside nearby words (for example: “move up”, “increase”, or “lift”) so the intent is immediately clear.
Common uses
- •Indicating an ‘up’ action in UI hints (e.g., move up, raise, increase).
- •Marking reversed or undo-like steps in instructions (up instead of down).
- •Designing callouts to draw attention toward content above (e.g., read the section above).
- •Annotating diagrams or flow descriptions where movement goes upward.
- •Tagging items in lists or boards with a priority trend moving upward.
