What ⮎ means
The bend is on the left, not the arrowhead. Follow the line from its upper end: it travels left, curves down, then returns to the right. That makes an anticlockwise half-turn, rather than a complete circle.
The arrow expresses a reversal of direction. A diagram's labels explain what is turning or returning; the character alone does not specify an undo command or a road instruction.

Worth knowing
- This arrow belongs to the Wingdings/Webdings symbol repertoire proposed for Unicode in 2011, so the symbols could be exchanged and searched independently of those fonts.
Questions people ask
1Why do I see a box instead of the arrow?
Your current font may lack this character. Try a font that supports it. ⮎ is a text symbol, so its appearance and availability depend on font support.
