U+27F3 "⟳" Clockwise Gapped Circle Arrow Unicode Character

U+27F3 "⟳" Clockwise Gapped Circle Arrow is a typographic symbol that depicts a circular arrow with a small break or gap in its stroke, rotating in a clockwise direction. It is part of the Miscellaneous Technical and Arrows blocks, often used in various contexts to represent processes like reloading, refreshing, cycling, or looping in digital interfaces, software applications, and scientific diagrams. The gapped design distinguishes it from a solid loop, sometimes suggesting an interruption or a controlled cycle rather than a continuous rotation. This symbol appears frequently in user interface icons for functions such as page refresh or undo, as well as in mathematical and technical notations for cyclic operations or reversible processes.
