U+25FA "◺" Lower Left Triangle Unicode Character

U+25FA "◺" Lower Left Triangle is a geometric symbol that represents a right angled triangle with its right angle situated in the lower left corner, formed by a horizontal line along the top and a vertical line along the right side, leaving the hypotenuse sloping from the top right to the bottom left. This glyph is part of the Geometric Shapes block in the Unicode standard, where it is used in technical diagrams, flowcharts, and software interfaces for which a simple triangular indicator is needed to denote direction, fill, or empty space. It is distinct from other triangles in the set, such as the filled variants or those with different corner orientations, and is commonly paired with the similar but inverted character for the upper right triangle to create composite shapes.
