History & usage: The WHITE CIRCLE WITH DOWN ARROW is a Unicode character in the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block. Its code point is U+29EC and it belongs to the Common script. The symbol is defined for use in mathematical notation and related diagrams, where a circle paired with a downward arrow can carry a visual cue. Usage notes emphasize that arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents. In practice, designers and authors may employ this shape to hint at downward movement or a choice that leads to a lower item. Because it is a distinct symbol, it can help separate steps or indicate a specific action within a sequence. The form is simple and recognizable, which supports quick interpretation in diagrams and technical writing. Like other symbols in its block, it is intended to be interoperable across fonts and platforms, provided the font includes the character. Its role is primarily as a visual indicator rather than text, so writers pair it with clear surrounding language to avoid ambiguity. This usage aligns with its placement in the Unicode set and its intended function in mathematical and schematic contexts.

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