History & usage: The symbol U+29AA, named Measured Angle with Open Arm Ending in Arrow Pointing Down and Right, sits in the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block. It is part of the Unicode set and appears in many fonts and documents. The character is used to denote a measured angle in geometry and related fields. Its form shows an open arm and an arrow that points down and to the right, which helps distinguish it from other angle symbols. In history, researchers and teachers adopted such symbols to simplify diagrams and avoid long text labels. The symbol helps readers recognize that an angle has a specific, measurable value. In practice, you place it near an angle to indicate that the size has been determined or is being cited. It also appears in diagrams that compare angles or show relationships between directions. Arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents, and this symbol carries that idea into mathematical notation. When used in problems or explanations, it clarifies that a particular angle is not just described but measured. The character belongs to the Common script and is used across many languages that teach geometry and trigonometry.

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