The ◟ symbol, officially named the Lower Left Quadrant Circular Arc, represents the bottom-left quarter of a perfect circle. While originally designed for legacy computing systems to draw rounded corners in terminal interfaces, it has found a modern second life online. Internet users frequently feature this geometric arc in elaborate text art and custom kaomoji to represent closed eyes, stylized mouths, or decorative swoops.
