U+2B4D "⭍" Downwards Triangle-Headed Zigzag Arrow Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⭍
U+2B4D "⭍" Downwards Triangle-Headed Zigzag Arrow is a specialized typographic symbol belonging to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, characterized by a zigzag shaft that ends in a solid triangular arrowhead pointing downward. This glyph is typically used in technical diagrams, flowcharts, or as an abstract directional indicator to suggest a downward path that is neither straight nor direct, often implying a stepwise or irregular descent. Its design combines the instability of a zigzag line with the clear directional emphasis of a filled triangle head, making it visually distinct from standard arrows.
