History & usage: In the history of symbols, the character SOUTH EAST ARROW CROSSING NORTH EAST ARROW appears in the Supplemental Arrows-B block. This glyph shows arrows crossing in two directions. Arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents. A cross symbol often denotes close or delete in UI or an incorrect state, context permitting. The symbol can signal a crossing of paths or options in diagrams and layouts. When designers use it, they may pair it with labels to clarify meaning. It is not a universal control, so context matters. In digital text, it is read as a graphical cue rather than as words. The codepoint U+292D identifies this glyph uniquely in Unicode and helps ensure consistent rendering across platforms. Overall, its function is to convey direction and crossing in a compact form, guiding user attention in complex interfaces.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+292D 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.
