Upwards Harpoon With Barb Left Beside Upwards Harpoon With Barb Right Symbol Meaning
⥣ represents an upward motion using a “harpoon” or hooked-arrow style, with the left barb and right barb shown side by side. Visually, it suggests an upward push, capture, or impact—often used when you want a direction that feels more forceful than a plain arrow. Because the symbol’s name explicitly includes left and right barbs, it can also be treated as a symmetrical “upward with split barbs” motif in diagramming or icon sets. In practice, designers use it as a distinctive directional glyph for emphasis, movement cues, or stylized technical graphics.
Common uses
- •Designing custom UI icons that indicate upward movement with added emphasis
- •Labeling or annotating diagrams where the action is forceful or attention-grabbing
- •Creating playful or stylized headings and banners with a unique arrow motif
- •Marking “up” direction in infographics or workflow steps that need stronger contrast
- •Embedding in digital typography, stamps, or editorial graphics as a decorative arrow
