What ⮲ means
⮲ is the ribbon arrow up left. Unicode classifies it as an “other symbol” — Unicode's shelf for signs that are neither maths, money nor punctuation and files it in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block; this site shelves it under Stars & signs.
Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.
How it is encoded
⮲ is a single code point, U2BB2. In HTML that is ⮲, and in CSS \2BB2.

Questions people ask
1Why does ⮲ show as a box on some devices?
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.
