U+2926 "⤦" South West Arrow with Hook Unicode Character

U+2926 "⤦" South West Arrow with Hook is a typographic symbol found in the Arrows block, used primarily in technical notation, mathematics, and diagrammatic contexts to indicate a directional change where a line or process makes a southward then westward turn, often representing a looping or rerouted flow, such as in circuit diagrams, logic mapping, or specialized notation for programming languages and keyboard shortcuts that involve returning input along a specific path. Its design features a straight arrow pointing southwest with a small hook at its tail, distinguishing it from simpler directional arrows and suggesting a curve or redirection in contrast to a direct linear movement.
