U+2B8D "⮍" Anticlockwise Triangle-Headed Bottom U-Shaped Arrow is a specialized typographic symbol used primarily in technical diagrams, user interface design, and directional signage to indicate a counterclockwise rotational or return movement that begins from a lower position and arcs upward and backward in a U-shaped path. Its design features a solid triangular arrowhead pointing leftward, attached to a curved stem that forms a semicircular loop at the bottom, visually distinguishing it from other arrow types.
