Rightwards Arrow With Corner Downwards

↴ indicates a step that moves right and turns straight down. In technical diagrams and text layouts, it marks a directional flow or points to content below, and in computing standards it is associated with a line-feed break.

Text symbol

What ↴ means

↴ is the rightwards arrow with corner downwards. Unicode classifies it as an “other symbol” — Unicode's shelf for signs that are neither maths, money nor punctuation and files it in the Arrows block; this site shelves it under Arrows.

Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.

How it is encoded

↴ is a single code point, U21B4. In HTML that is ↴, and in CSS \21B4.

Why 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.
