Unicode Version 17.0
⌤
U+2324 "⌤" Up Arrowhead Between Two Horizontal Bars is a typographic symbol found in the Miscellaneous Technical block, specifically designed to represent a key on a keyboard, often serving as a label for the "Home" key on legacy keyboards from vendors like Sun Microsystems and Digital Equipment Corporation. Its visual design features a small upward pointing arrowhead placed squarely between two short horizontal bars, which visually suggests a concept of upward movement or return to a starting position within a defined boundary. In modern computing, this character is rarely used in general text but may appear in technical documentation, interface diagrams, or specialized software discussing historical keyboard layouts.
