The Rightwards Left-Shaded White Arrow depicts the RIGHTWARDS LEFT-SHADED WHITE ARROW. It signals direction in interfaces and documents. Back or previous navigation uses this arrow to move to the left. It also marks Next or forward navigation to move to the right. Use cases include guiding users through a multi step form, indicating a return to a previous screen, and showing progression to the next item in a list. In menus, it helps users understand switch points and page flow. For accessibility, describe the direction to assistive tech and ensure contrast for visibility. Cross‑platform, the symbol should render clearly on common devices, and screen readers should state the direction when announced. If a layout stacks arrows, keep the left/right cues consistent for reliable navigation.

History & usage: Arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents. Often used for Back/previous navigation or to indicate a move to the left. Often used for Next/forward navigation or to indicate a move to the right.
