History & usage: The character MODIFIER LETTER LOW UP ARROWHEAD has the codepoint U+2F0 and sits in the Spacing Modifier Letters block. It belongs to the Common script. In use, arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents. This symbol acts as a typographic arrowhead that can appear at the start or end of a line to show movement or emphasis. Users may see it in forms, menus, or guides where subtle direction hints are needed without drawing heavy attention. It is not a punctuation mark by itself but serves as a modifier character in some fonts. In plain text or design work, it can help balance layouts or indicate a flow from one element to the next. When designers include it, they do so to aid quick recognition without large arrows. The short, narrow shape fits in tight spaces and works with other symbols. Overall, this codepoint provides a clean directional cue in many text settings.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2F0
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.
