U+2923 "⤣" North West Arrow with Hook Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⤣
U+2923 "⤣" North West Arrow with Hook is a typographic symbol belonging to the Supplemental Arrows-B block, featuring an arrow that points diagonally upward and to the left, with a small hook at its tail end instead of a straight shaft. This subtle hook distinguishes it from a standard north-west arrow, often used in mathematics, logic, or technical diagrams to denote a specialized directional relationship, such as a looping return or a modified vector in mapping or flowcharts. Its design evokes a sense of turning or redirection, making it suitable for illustrating processes that curve back toward their origin or indicate a non-linear path in abstract representations.
