When to use it
⍼ writes U+237C (Right Angle with Downwards Zigzag Arrow), a maths symbol from the Unicode Miscellaneous Technical block, encoded since Unicode 3.2. Arrow shapes vary a lot between fonts; when an arrow is the only content of a link or button, give it a text label as well.
The name comes from the HTML5 list (much of it shared with MathML), so it works in every current browser but not in XML or XHTML served as XML, where the numeric reference is the safe choice.
