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 symbol U+29AC is named MEASURED ANGLE WITH OPEN ARM ENDING IN ARROW POINTING RIGHT AND UP. It sits in the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block, and its script is listed as Common. In use, it represents a measured angle with an open arm and an arrow that points right and up. This kind of symbol helps show a specific angle or orientation in diagrams and technical drawings. It is designed for mathematical or geometric notation. The name and codepoint help identify the symbol in text and fonts. In histories of mathematics and symbol sets, such marks appear in specialized diagrams that require precise angle notation. Arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents. This simple rule guides how the symbol might be read in contexts like charts, manuals, or educational materials. By using a clear arrow, the symbol communicates a path or turn in a figure. Overall, it serves a niche but important role in conveying angle direction and orientation inside mathematical or technical content.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+29AC 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.
