U+2301 "⌁" Electric Arrow Unicode Character

U+2301 "⌁" Electric Arrow is a specialized typographic symbol representing an arrow with a zigzag lightning bolt motif, visually suggesting a directed flow of electrical current or an electrical connection. It belongs to the Miscellaneous Technical block of the Unicode standard and was primarily designed for use in technical documentation, particularly in contexts involving circuit diagrams, electrical engineering schematics, or user interfaces where a clear indication of an electrical path or signal direction is needed. Unlike more common arrows, its distinctive design directly evokes the concept of electricity or electronic signals, making it useful for labeling switches, relays, or other components in both digital and printed technical materials.
