U+2703 "" Lower Blade Scissors Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans Symbols 2 Source: Browser Default

U+2703 "" Lower Blade Scissors is a pictographic symbol representing an open pair of scissors with the blades pointing downward, often used in typography and digital interfaces to denote cutting, trimming, or the act of cutting along a line. It belongs to the Dingbats block, which contains various ornamental and utility symbols, and its design is typically distinct from U+2702 "✂" (Black Scissors), as the lower blade version emphasizes the open, downward orientation of the tool. This character finds occasional use in documents, spreadsheets, or graphical menus where a visual cue for a cut operation is needed, though it is less common than its closed or more generic scissor counterparts due to limited font support and specialized application.
