Leftwards Rocket

The leftwards rocket 🙬 is a decorative text flourish, not a clear picture of a spacecraft or a dependable launch signal. Its point faces left, but that alone does not make it a reliable direction sign.

What 🙬 means

No: it is a text ornament, not a spacecraft picture.

Microsoft introduced its Webdings symbol font in 1997. A 2011 character-encoding proposal maps Webdings' rocketleft slot to 🙬. Because it is a text glyph, its silhouette can vary across fonts.

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
