U+2701 "✁" Upper Blade Scissors Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2701 "✁" Upper Blade Scissors is a typographic symbol representing the single top half of a pair of scissors, specifically the pivoting blade with a finger hole, while the lower blade is absent. It belongs to the Dingbats block, introduced in Unicode 1.1, and is often used in design, media, or crafting contexts to indicate a cutting point or a shared edge, rather than acting as a functional emoji. This character can also appear in printed materials as a cut mark or in lists to denote a division, and it has a complementary counterpart, U+2702 "✂" (Black Scissors), which shows the complete tool.
