U+1F5A0 "🖠" Sideways Black Up Pointing Index Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1F5A0 "🖠" Sideways Black Up Pointing Index is a less common symbolic glyph from the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block, depicting a solid finger pointing in an upward direction with the hand oriented horizontally rather than vertically. It is primarily used in digital interfaces and documentation to indicate a directional gesture, such as scrolling up, moving an element higher, or directing attention to content above the current view. This character serves as a functional icon for user guidance or navigation cues, often appearing in computing contexts where a simple hand drawn symbol is preferred over a more detailed graphic. Its design is a stylistic variation of the more standard up pointing index hand, offering a distinct sideways presentation for specific interface needs.
