U+2B4E "⭎" Short Slanted North Arrow Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2B4E "⭎" Short Slanted North Arrow is a typographic symbol belonging to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, designed to represent a stylized direction indicator pointing north but tilted at a slight angle rather than perfectly upright. Its design allows it to convey orientation or movement toward the north in a more dynamic or informal visual context, often used in maps, diagrams, or wayfinding graphics where a standard vertical arrow might feel too rigid. The character is distinct from other north arrows by its shortened length and slanted posture, which can help it fit neatly into compact layouts or adjacent to other angled directional cues without dominating the space.
