U+2BAE "⮮" Black Curved Leftwards and Downwards Arrow Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2BAE "⮮" Black Curved Leftwards and Downwards Arrow is a typographic symbol that depicts an arrow with a thick, black line curving first to the left and then turning downward, often used in diagrams, user interfaces, or wayfinding systems to indicate a change in direction or a rotational movement that combines a leftward and descending path. It belongs to the Supplemental Arrows-B block within Unicode, which contains various arrow symbols for technical and graphical use, and its design is distinct from straight arrows by explicitly suggesting a smooth, non linear trajectory. Unlike standard arrows that signal simple linear movement, this character conveys a more specific, compound directional cue that can be helpful in flowcharts, street sign analogs, or software menus where a user might need to navigate both laterally and downward.
