Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2380 "⎀" Insertion Symbol is originally defined as part of the Unicode standard in the Miscellaneous Technical block and is intended to represent the general concept of an insertion point, often used in technical documentation, diagram editing, or graphical user interface notations to indicate where text, a symbol, or an element should be added. Its design typically resembles a caret-like shape with a small horizontal line, signifying a precise location for insertion. While it is not commonly used in mainstream text or everyday writing, it serves a specific purpose in specialized contexts such as flowchart annotations, copyediting symbols, or software documentation, where it communicates the idea of "insert here" without ambiguity.
