U+2B90 "⮐" Return Left Unicode Character

U+2B90 "⮐" Return Left is a typographical symbol found in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, designed to represent a carriage return or a line break action that moves the cursor or insertion point back to the left margin, often to the start of a new line. Its visual form is a downward arrow with a horizontal tail pointing to the left, distinguishing it from the more common right-angled return arrow. This character is used in computing and documentation to denote the "Enter" or "Return" key's function, particularly in contexts where a clear, non letter based indicator of text wrapping or paragraph termination is needed.
