U+1FBCA "🯊" White Up-Pointing Chevron Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
🯊
U+1FBCA "🯊" White Up-Pointing Chevron is a graphical symbol included in the Unicode standard under the Symbols for Legacy Computing supplement block, representing a solid white arrow or chevron pointing upward. It is distinct from other arrow-like characters due to its specific design as a filled, triangular form with a broad base and a pointed top, typically used in retro computing contexts, user interface elements, or as a directional indicator in technical documentation. This character was added to support the preservation of visual symbols from earlier computer systems and has a canonical decomposition that relates it to a simpler upward-pointing triangle shape.
