History & usage: LEFT ARROW WITH CIRCLED PLUS is a symbol in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, with the code point U+2B32 from the Common script. In use, it helps show a combined idea of direction and action. Arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents. Common math symbols indicate operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. In practice, this glyph can serve as a navigation hint and a prompt for an available action at the same time. Designers place it where a user can move in a direction and perform an operation in one step. It appears in icons and diagrams used in digital and print layouts, where quick understanding matters. The symbol works across platforms, but its exact look can vary with font and rendering choices. When seen in a layout, it signals movement plus an action, guiding users to proceed. Its use is typical in interfaces and documents that require clear, compact cues for steps or transitions.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2B32 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.
