Arrow Pointing Rightwards Then Curving Upwards (⤴) is encoded as U+2934 and has the formal Unicode name ARROW POINTING RIGHTWARDS THEN CURVING UPWARDS. Unicode classifies it as Symbol, Math in the Supplemental Arrows-B block. Its name places it in the arrow/directional family, which gives the page a narrower identity than the glyph alone. Separately encoded named neighbors include ⤵ Arrow Pointing Rightwards Then Curving Downwards (U+2935); those records should be compared by name and code point rather than merged because their shapes or terminology are related.
Unicode Identity First, Local Meaning Second
⤴ is encoded as U+2934 and classified as Symbol, Math. Its formal name narrows it to the arrow/directional family rather than leaving the mark as an unidentified shape.
The Unicode identity and the surrounding document answer different questions: the code point tells you which character is present, while the surrounding formula, interface, document, or notation system determines the local interpretation. Keeping those layers separate prevents a visual guess from being treated as a character definition.
Have another unfamiliar character? Open what is ⤴ called? and identify it from the glyph itself, a Unicode value, or its appearance.
Rendering Changes, Unicode Identity Does Not
Unicode defines the character or sequence, but the visual artwork comes from the font, emoji set, and rendering system. As a result, shape, color, proportions, and detail can vary without changing the encoded identity.
For identification, compare code points and sequence data rather than expecting pixel-for-pixel consistency. This is especially important for emoji and symbols whose presentation is highly stylized by platforms.
Code-Point and UTF-8 Forms for ⤴
U+2934 = decimal 10548 = HTML ⤴ / ⤴. A Unicode escape-style form is u2934. Its UTF-8 bytes are E2 A4 B4.
Use these identifiers in markup, source code, exports, or character diagnostics when the glyph alone is not enough.
Unicode Distinctions Around ⤴
Unicode stores ⤴ as U+2934, while nearby records include ⤵ Arrow Pointing Rightwards Then Curving Downwards (U+2935). These are separate encoded identities, not alternate font drawings of one character.
The comparison is useful because a shared word in the name, a mirrored direction, or a similar outline can make two symbols appear interchangeable. When the distinction matters, compare the complete Unicode name and code point before replacing one record with another.
