History & usage: MEASURED ANGLE WITH OPEN ARM ENDING IN ARROW POINTING LEFT AND UP is a symbol used in mathematics. In Unicode, it sits in the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block. It depicts a measured angle with an open arm and an arrow at the end that points left and up. In practice, people use it to show a specific angle value or orientation in diagrams and formulas. The symbol helps distinguish a precise angle from a simple line or generic arc. It can appear in geometry and design tasks where direction and magnitude matter. In documentation and interfaces, arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents. This usage helps readers understand movement, rotation, or targeting within a figure or chart. The symbol is a compact way to convey measurement before numbers are given. It is useful when space is limited or when a figure requires a concise notation. Overall, it supports clear communication of angle measurements and directions without extra words. Its simple, clear form makes it easy to recognize in mathematical text and technical diagrams.

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