Unicode Version 17.0
❰
U+2770 "❰" Heavy Left-Pointing Angle Bracket Ornament is a typographic symbol from the Dingbats block, designed as a thick, stylized version of a left-pointing angle bracket. It is commonly used in decorative or ornamental contexts, often to create borders, frames, or visual emphasis in digital and print design. Unlike its standard counterpart used in programming or markup languages, this heavier variant adds an aesthetic, decorative flair, making it suitable for headings, bullet alternatives, or as part of ornate borders in documents, web pages, or graphic layouts. Its purpose is primarily visual rather than functional, bridging the gap between pure text and decorative art.
