Source: Noto Sans Math Source: Browser Default

U+25C5 "" White Left-Pointing Pointer is a typographic symbol that depicts a smaller, hollow leftward-pointing triangle or arrowhead, distinct from the larger or filled variants in its category. Classified under the Geometric Shapes block, it is often used in user interfaces, documentation, or visual layouts as a simple indicator for collapse, direction, or selection, particularly when a subtler or unfilled marker is preferred. Its design can vary by font but generally retains a clean, open outline, making it suitable for contexts requiring a less assertive directional cue than its solid counterpart.
