Position Indicator Symbol Meaning
⌖ (Unicode name: POSITION INDICATOR, U+2316) is a map symbol used to show that something is at, near, or being referenced by a particular position. Depending on the design system, it may be used as a generic “marker” for a point of interest or as a visual cue in interfaces where an exact location or step in a sequence matters. Because it’s a single character, it works well in labels, legends, captions, and compact UI elements. In typography, it can also function as a subtle navigational or orientation glyph without needing extra words.
Common uses
- •Map legends and location lists to label a marked point
- •UI labels for “current position” or “reference position” states
- •Document markup for anchored items or positional references
- •Game or app HUD indicators pointing to an object’s location
- •Infographics and diagrams where a single point needs emphasis
