Perpendicular is an ornamental dingbat used primarily for decorative purposes — flourishes, stylized arrows, and embellishments in creative or expressive text formatting.
Unicode block: Ornamental Dingbats (U+1F650–U+1F67F). This later-added Unicode block extends the original Dingbats set with additional decorative arrows and ornamental marks, continuing the tradition of the 1978 Zapf Dingbats typeface into the Unicode era.
