Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+23CE "⏎" Return Symbol is a graphical representation of the return or enter key commonly found on computer keyboards, depicting a downward and leftward pointing arrow with a straight vertical stem. This symbol is distinct from the older ASCII control character for carriage return (U+000D), serving instead as a visual icon to indicate line breaks, carriage returns, or the action of confirming input in user interfaces and text editing contexts. It is often used in documentation, software interfaces, and typographic settings to clearly denote where a return or new line occurs without relying on textual abbreviations.
