Right Angle With Downwards Zigzag Arrow Symbol
A technical arrow symbol showing a right-angle direction with a downward zigzag movement.
U+237C
⍼ (U+237C) is a Technical & Computer symbol named “Right Angle With Downwards Zigzag Arrow.” It’s typically used to indicate a redirected path that drops downward in a stylized, step-like way. Use it in diagrams, UI labels, or documentation where arrow routing matters.
Right Angle With Downwards Zigzag Arrow Symbol Meaning
The “Right Angle With Downwards Zigzag Arrow” symbol represents a routed directional move: first turning at a right angle, then moving downward with a zigzag/step-like character. Because it combines a corner (right-angle) with a descending, non-straight segment, it’s often used to visually communicate a change in direction that continues downward rather than a smooth straight arrow. In technical contexts, it can help suggest routing, redirection, or a path that descends through stages or levels. Its usage is mainly about visual clarity in diagrams, interfaces, and structured documentation rather than a single universal real-world concept.
Common uses
- •Network or system diagrams to show a routed path that turns and then descends
- •UI/UX mockups indicating a navigation step that goes downward after a corner turn
- •Flowcharts for staged processes where one step redirects and then drops to the next level
- •Technical documentation to mark “down” routing or a redirected downward connection
- •Math/engineering schematics where a stylized arrow communicates a cornered descent
