U+2424 "" Symbol for Newline Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0

U+2424 "" Symbol for Newline is a graphic representation used in computing and data visualization to denote the presence of a line break without actually executing a line feed in text. It is often employed in contexts such as protocol analyzers, debuggers, or plain text diagrams to make invisible control characters visible, allowing users to see exactly where a newline character, like carriage return or line feed, occurs in a data stream. The symbol itself resembles an upward and leftward pointing arrow, visually indicating the action of starting a new line of text.
