U+219B "↛" Rightwards Arrow with Stroke Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
↛
U+219B "↛" Rightwards Arrow with Stroke is a typographic symbol that represents a rightwards arrow with a diagonal line or stroke crossing through it, which is commonly used in mathematics, logic, and formal notation to indicate negation or prohibition of a rightward direction or implication. This character functions as a visual shorthand for "does not imply," "not equal to in a directional sense," or "no entry to the right," effectively canceling the meaning of the standard rightwards arrow. It belongs to the Arrows block in Unicode and is encoded for use in digital text to convey a blocked or denied forward movement without requiring complex formatting or images.
