Leftwards Arrow With Notched Tail

It points left; the notch is at the tail.

In a diagram, it can connect a labeled item to an earlier step. A nearby label can name the destination when the arrow alone is unclear.

A Wingdings 3 character table maps this form to the font slot k6left. A 2012 Unicode draft lists it with its upward, rightward, and downward counterparts. The Unicode arrow chapter says some characters in the wider Supplemental Arrows-C set fill out arrow sets used by older computer systems and Smalltalk, a programming language. This set was encoded in Unicode 7.0 in 2014.

How do I type 🢘 in HTML?

In Unicode-aware HTML, use 🢘.

In code, store it as Unicode text or UTF-8. Older byte-only conversion may mishandle it because its code point lies outside Unicode's basic range.

Why does 🢘 look different across fonts?

Fonts control its outline and whether it appears.

Unicode 17.0's chart treats its drawing as a reference, not a fixed font design. A font may draw a different outline or have no glyph for it; the underlying character remains the same.

On its own, read it as a literal leftward pointer: it gives direction, not a destination. When the target matters, put a nearby label in the message.
