U+1FBC2 "🯂" Middle Third White Right Pointing Index Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

🯂

U+1FBC2 "🯂" Middle Third White Right Pointing Index is a relatively obscure and rarely used symbol from the Unicode standard, specifically classified within the Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplementary block. It depicts a rightward pointing hand or index finger that is rendered in white with an outline, but only the middle third of the full finger shape is shown, making it a partial or segmented graphic. This character was designed for use in retro computing contexts, likely for recreating old terminal interfaces, bitmap font rendering, or cursor and selection indicators found in early computer systems. Its primary purpose is to support digital preservation and accurate representation of historical computer display outputs rather than for everyday text communication.
