The ▵ (White Up-Pointing Small Triangle) is a hollow, upward-pointing geometric shape from the Unicode Geometric Shapes block. It is frequently used in digital user interfaces to represent "sort ascending," "expand," or "up" actions without the visual weight of a solid black triangle. Typographers and designers also rely on this minimalist symbol for elegant list bullets, decorative separators, and technical diagrams.
