U+1CC60 "𜱠" Left-Pointing Atomic Bomb Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𜱠

U+1CC60 "𜱠" Left-Pointing Atomic Bomb is a highly recent addition to the Unicode Standard, having been introduced in version 16.0 released in 2024 as part of the Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement block. This pictographic glyph depicts a stylized atomic bomb oriented to point left, likely representing an icon from older computing or telecommunication systems, such as a symbol used in early terminal interfaces or placeholder graphics. Its inclusion underscores Unicode's ongoing effort to preserve and document historical computing symbols, though it remains rarely used outside of specialized contexts or nostalgic digital art. The character may also serve as a visual shorthand for nuclear weaponry or apocalyptic themes within the limited scope of text encoding.
