U+2304 "⌄" Down Arrowhead Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⌄
U+2304 "⌄" Down Arrowhead is a typographic symbol that depicts a small, inverted V shape pointing downward, often used in technical diagrams, user interfaces, and mathematical notation to indicate a downward direction, decrease, or collapse. As part of the Miscellaneous Technical block, it represents a variant of the arrowhead style, distinct from larger or filled arrow characters, and is commonly utilized in contexts such as representing a dropdown menu or a logical operator for "down" in schematic drawings. Its design is intentionally minimal, making it suitable for compact spaces where a subtle directional cue is needed without the visual weight of a full-sized arrow.
