U+2BC5 "⯅" Black Medium Up-Pointing Triangle Centred Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⯅
U+2BC5 "⯅" Black Medium Up-Pointing Triangle Centred is a geometric symbol featuring a solid, medium-sized triangle pointing upward, with its center aligned to the character’s bounding box. It is part of the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, often used in typography, diagrams, or user interface designs to indicate direction, progression, or a pointing action where a standard arrow is not desired. Unlike the larger or smaller triangles in Unicode, this specific variant provides a balanced visual weight for contexts requiring a clear, centered upward indicator without excessive prominence.
