What 🠋 means
It points to a lower place or marks a falling value. Before a line or item, it sends the eye downward; beside a number or trend, it marks a decrease.
Lucida Icons, Arrows and Stars were designed in 1990–1991. In 1992, Microsoft brought those three symbol fonts together as Wingdings for computer documents and graphical interfaces.
A 2011 Unicode proposal records 🠋 as glyph 3164, its position in Wingdings 3, and argues for encoding such font symbols as searchable text. The symbol's text identity no longer depends on that font; its downward meaning stayed the same.
How do I type 🠋?
Use an editor’s Unicode picker or hex-entry command. Select this character as text; the exact control depends on the app.
As of 2026, a documented Wingdings 3 table maps ¤ (0xA4) to this arrow under a4down. That route works only with Wingdings 3 active: without the font, the source slot remains ¤ or appears as a missing glyph.
Technical and diagrammatic: it acts as a directional marker in a document, diagram, or interface label.
`¤` is the old Wingdings 3 source slot; without that font, it is not 🠋.
