U+2326 "⌦" Erase to the Right Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⌦
U+2326 "⌦" Erase to the Right is a graphical symbol that represents a forward delete function or the action of deleting content to the right of the cursor, commonly seen in keyboard legends, text editing interfaces, or technical documentation where it denotes the 'Delete' key as opposed to backspace. Its design typically shows an arrow pointing to the right with a small cross or x mark at its tail, visually reinforcing the concept of erasing characters ahead of the insertion point.
