undo symbol

Undo symbol

⎌ means undo: reverse the latest action and restore the prior state. In chat, it can read as “take that back.” Unicode 18.0 aligned its drawing with ISO 7000; fonts may still vary.

Text symbol

What ⎌ means

It began as a keyboard undo function before Unicode.

Its use dates to the 1990s or earlier. It entered ISO/IEC 10646, the ISO character standard aligned with Unicode, in 1998, then Unicode 3.0 in 1999.

ISO 7000 assigned it to equipment controls in 2004; ISO/IEC 9995-7 has listed it among keyboard-function signs since 2009.

Technical and matter-of-fact; it sounds like an interface command.

Alone, it doesn't say what to undo.
