Circled Anticlockwise Arrow 🄎
🄎 (U+1F10E) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Circled Anticlockwise Arrow is part of the Symbols family (block: Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: The character depicts CIRCLED ANTICLOCKWISE ARROW. Use it to show a backward or reverse action in interfaces, such as undoing a step or returning to a previous screen. It can mark a retry or loop in a workflow, or guide users through a circular navigation path in dashboards or tutorials. In messages, it helps convey a direction cue when discussing history, rotation, or refreshing content. Remember that appearance varies across platforms and fonts, so the same symbol may look different in color or style. For accessibility, include surrounding text that clearly states the intended meaning. Cross‑platform support may differ, and some environments may show a monochrome fallback if color emoji is not available.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F10E 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.

Compatibility & troubleshooting

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
