Meaning
An arrow pointing diagonally up and to the left. It commonly indicates direction, movement toward the upper-left, or a return to something earlier. In conversation it often serves as a pointer to text, a link, or an earlier point, and can mark a decrease or upward-left trend in charts. It is also used decoratively in headings and lists. Because arrows can point to content, direction, or emphasis, the intended meaning usually depends on surrounding context, so it can be ambiguous when used alone.
