U+02F0 "˰" Modifier Letter Low Up Arrowhead Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+02F0 "˰" Modifier Letter Low Up Arrowhead is a typographic symbol classified as a combining diacritical mark, though it is typically used as a standalone spacing modifier in phonetic and linguistic notation. It graphically represents a small upward-pointing arrowhead positioned at the baseline, distinct from the regular up arrow or other arrowhead modifiers, and it is employed in some transcription systems to indicate a specific phonetic feature such as a rising tone or a light upward intonation. This character belongs to the Spacing Modifier Letters block in Unicode, designed to modify the meaning of adjacent letters without overlapping them, and it is often confused with or used as a substitute for similar arrowhead symbols like the Greek tonos or mathematical arrow operators.
