U+21B0
↰ (UPWARDS ARROW WITH TIP LEFTWARDS) is a directional arrow symbol. It’s commonly used when you want to show an arrow that points up but turns to the left. You can copy it directly or use its Unicode/HTML escapes in code.
Upwards Arrow With Tip Leftwards Symbol Meaning
↰ is a directional arrow indicating movement upward with a leftward-leaning tip. Visually, it communicates “go up” while also suggesting a shift toward the left, making it different from a straight up arrow. In interfaces, it can represent navigation options, rerouting, or directional guidance where two directions must be implied at once. In documents and diagrams, it’s handy for labeling steps or transformations that move upward while adjusting toward the left. Because it has a distinct shape, it’s often preferred over combining separate arrow icons when a single consistent direction cue is needed.
Common uses
- •User interface hints for moving upward while turning left (e.g., “lift then shift left”).
- •Diagram and flowchart annotations for steps that progress upward with a leftward component.
- •Map or direction callouts in text-based guides when you need a single combined arrow.
- •Labeling controls or toolbar actions that steer content upward-left (e.g., navigation buttons).
- •Design assets where one glyph should represent a combined diagonal-up/left direction.
