Angzarr
The angzarr (⍼) is an obscure typographical symbol with a vague, unconfirmed meaning. A typographic source from the 1950s and 1960s refers to it as a mathematical symbol for azimuth, but it is not known to have ever been used in mathematics.
The symbol gained notoriety in the 2020s when researchers investigated how an unknown symbol became embedded in Unicode's character set, placing it into all modern computer systems.
The name is from an abbreviation of its ISO 9573-13 name, "Angle with Down Zig-zag Arrow", also reflected in its Unicode name, "Right Angle with Downwards Zigzag Arrow". Its HTML entity reference, originally defined in ISO 9573-13 for use in SGML, is ⍼. It has been included in Unicode since version 3.2.
