What ⮛ means
It marks a downward direction with left-side shading.
The faceted face gives the arrowhead a three-dimensional look; surrounding labels supply any specific instruction.
When was this design encoded?
It entered Unicode in 2014 as part of a proposed arrowhead set. The set covered designs from the Wingdings and Webdings symbol fonts; the date marks computer encoding, not the invention of arrows.
