Unicode Version 17.0
⭮
U+2B6E "⭮" Clockwise Triangle-Headed Open Circle Arrow is a specialized symbol from the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, designed to represent a circular motion or a repeating loop with a distinctive open circle at its center and a triangular arrowhead indicating a clockwise direction. This character is often used in diagrams, technical documentation, or user interfaces to denote a cyclic process, a reload action, or a rotational movement, offering a more stylized alternative to standard circular arrows. Its visual format combines the clarity of a triangular pointer with the open center, making it suitable for contexts where a simple filled arrow might be too heavy or ambiguous.
