U+2B8F "⮏" Anticlockwise Triangle-Headed Top U-Shaped Arrow Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2B8F "⮏" Anticlockwise Triangle-Headed Top U-Shaped Arrow is a specialized directional symbol used primarily in technical and interface contexts to indicate a counterclockwise rotation or a return to a previous state along a U-shaped path, with the triangle head pointing in the anticlockwise direction at the top of the curve. It belongs to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block and serves a role similar to other U-shaped arrows in encoding instructions for navigation, user interface commands, or process flow diagrams, often complementing its clockwise counterpart to provide clear bidirectional directional cues. This character is distinct from more common arrows due to its specific shape and orientation, making it useful for applications where a non-linear or reversing motion needs to be visually communicated.
