History & usage: BLACK CURVED LEFTWARDS AND UPWARDS ARROW is a symbol in the Unicode Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block. It has the code point U+2BAC. It represents a curved arrow that points left and up. This shape is used to show a turn or a bend in navigation and flow. In text and interfaces, such arrows help users follow a path or indicate a result that moves in a particular direction. The symbol is part of a broad set of arrows that developers and designers use to communicate movement without words. It can appear in diagrams, instructions, or menus where a curved motion is needed. It does not carry a specific, fixed action by itself but signals direction or a step forward in a sequence. When designers choose it, they expect readers to understand a change in direction or a return to a previous point with an upward emphasis. The usage atom notes that arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents, and this symbol fits that role when a curved leftward and upward motion is shown.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2BAC in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
