Upwards Harpoon With Barb Left From Bar Symbol Meaning
⥠ is an arrow symbol that visually combines an upward direction with a harpoon-like barbed form, suggesting motion that is aimed upward or a “caught/pulled up” action. The phrase “with barb left from bar” describes the placement of the barb relative to the main bar, helping distinguish it from similar harpoon and harpoon-like arrows. Because it’s an uncommon Unicode character, it’s best for specific branding, diagram labels, or editorial graphics rather than general arrow needs. When you want more character than a standard ↑ arrow, ⥠ can add a distinctive, technical-looking cue for upward movement.
Common uses

- •UI labels or icons for “pull up,” “ascend,” or “lift” actions
