⮘
U+2B98 "⮘" Three-D Top-Lighted Leftwards Equilateral Arrowhead is a typographic symbol included in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, designed to represent a three-dimensional arrow pointing to the left with illumination or highlighting from the top, giving it a shaded, beveled appearance. Its shape is an equilateral arrowhead oriented leftwards, and the "top-lighted" effect suggests a light source shining from above, creating a subtle gradient or shadow on the lower portion of the glyph. This character is used in digital text for directional cues, user interface elements, or decorative purposes where a three-dimensional visual style is preferred over a flat arrow.
