Black Left-Pointing Double Triangle (⏪) is encoded as U+23EA and has the formal Unicode name BLACK LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE TRIANGLE. Unicode classifies it as Symbol, Other in the Miscellaneous Technical block. Its name places it in the emoji pictograph family, which gives the page a narrower identity than the glyph alone. Separately encoded named neighbors include ⏩ Black Right-Pointing Double Triangle (U+23E9); those records should be compared by name and code point rather than merged because their shapes or terminology are related.
Rendering Can Change Without Changing U+23EA
Unicode defines the encoded identity U+23EA, while the visible shape is produced by a font, emoji set, and shaping engine. Emoji platforms can redraw the same encoded character or sequence with different artwork, proportions, and color.
For identification, compare code points and sequence structure rather than expecting pixel-for-pixel consistency. Rendering can change while the underlying Unicode record stays the same.
If this is not the character you meant, use what is the name of ⏪? to identify the mark from pasted text, Unicode, or its visual shape.
