History & usage: MEASURED ANGLE WITH OPEN ARM ENDING IN ARROW POINTING UP AND RIGHT (U+29A8) is a symbol in the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block used in math and technical texts. It represents a specific angle, with an open arm and an arrow at the end pointing up and to the right. In practical use, this glyph helps show a measured angle in diagrams, calculations, and geometric figures. When readers see it, they understand a defined angle value rather than a general direction. Arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents. This helps teams explain orientation, rotation, or comparison of angles. The symbol appears in fonts and documents where precise notation is needed, alongside other math signs. It does not carry a general instruction by itself; it works with numbers and other symbols to convey a measurement. In history, such symbols evolved to give a clear visual cue for angles in science and engineering, making diagrams easier to read without long explanations.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+29A8 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.
