Designers choose curved arrows to soften the sense of movement and to suggest a non-linear route. For accessibility, a short description should accompany the symbol when it appears in interfaces. The description can clarify its direction or relation to other elements. The character fits with other common arrows used to guide action, choices, and sequence.
