U+21EB "⇫" Upwards White Arrow on Pedestal Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⇫
U+21EB "⇫" Upwards White Arrow on Pedestal is a typographic symbol in the Arrows block, visually depicting a hollow or outline arrow pointing upward, set atop a small horizontal base or pedestal. This design distinguishes it from a simple upward arrow, suggesting elevation, ascension, or a platform for upward movement. It is often used in technical notation, diagramming, or user interface contexts to represent concepts like an upward step, a lift mechanism, or an upward navigation command, though its usage is less common than more standard arrow symbols.
