U+1CCA1 "𜲡" Right-Pointing Rocket Booster Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𜲡

U+1CCA1 "𜲡" Right-Pointing Rocket Booster is a relatively new addition to the Unicode Standard, included in the Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement block to represent a graphic element from vintage computing and terminal interfaces, specifically depicting a rocket booster oriented to the right. This character was part of a broader effort to preserve and digitally encode symbols used in early computer systems, teletext, and other display environments where such pictographic indicators were employed for game graphics, user interface icons, or simple visual communication. Its design suggests forward motion, propulsion, or the act of launching, making it useful in contexts involving retro computing nostalgia, technical documentation of historical hardware, or creative digital art projects that aim to recreate or reference the aesthetic of early computer graphics.
