U+25B5 "▵" White Up-Pointing Small Triangle Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+25B5 "▵" White Up-Pointing Small Triangle is a typographical symbol consisting of a small, upward-pointing triangle that is unfilled or hollow, distinguishing it from its solid counterpart. It is part of the Geometric Shapes block in Unicode, which includes a variety of basic shapes used in textual markup, diagrams, and user interface design. This particular glyph is often employed as a discreet directional indicator, a placeholder for missing data in tables, or a modest decorative element in plain text, and it can be used to represent a chemical structure in alchemy or a play button in minimalist icons. Its compact size and open design make it visually lighter than the filled version, allowing it to blend subtly into text without overwhelming adjacent characters.
