Black Left Pointing Index is a miscellaneous symbol drawn from weather, astrology, gaming, warning signage, or similar everyday categories, used to add a quick visual cue in text without switching to a full emoji.
Unicode block: Miscellaneous Symbols (U+2600–U+26FF). This eclectic block covers weather, astrology, chess, religious, and warning symbols — a mix that predates the modern Emoji blocks and still renders as plain (non-color) glyphs on most systems.
At Unicode code point U+261A (decimal 9754), Black Left Pointing Index is the 27th of 256 characters cataloged in this category on How To Type Any Symbol.

Regardless of platform, clicking the copy button above places the exact character on your clipboard, ready to paste into any application that accepts Unicode text.
💡 Good to know: Warning and hazard symbols from this block carry real-world safety conventions in some contexts — use the standardized version rather than a similar-looking substitute in safety documentation.
