U+25C4 "◄" Black Left-Pointing Pointer Unicode Character

U+25C4 "◄" Black Left-Pointing Pointer is a typographic symbol that depicts a solid, filled triangle pointing to the left, often used in digital interfaces as a playback control for reverse, rewind, or previous track functions. It is part of the Geometric Shapes block within the Unicode standard, and its design is essentially the mirror image of the Black Right-Pointing Pointer (U+25B6). Beyond media controls, this character can serve as a directional indicator, a list bullet, or a component in diagrams and user interface elements where a clear leftward orientation is needed. Its simplicity and strong visual contrast make it effective for conveying direction or backward movement in both text and graphical contexts.
