U+2BB6 "⮶" Ribbon Arrow Left Down Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⮶
U+2BB6 "⮶" Ribbon Arrow Left Down is a typographic symbol belonging to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, specifically designed to represent an arrow that curves or bends like a ribbon while pointing simultaneously to the left and downward. Its visual form combines a sweeping, decorative ribbon-like shape with directional clarity, making it useful in diagrams, signage, or user interface elements where a stylized or ornamental indication of a path or flow is needed. Unlike standard arrows, this character adds a sense of elegance or movement through its curved design, and it is often employed in technical documents, wayfinding systems, or digital graphics to denote a turning or descending route with a non-rigid aesthetic.
