| Category | Keyboard symbols | |
| Description | The Unicode character ⏎, or U+23CE, is known as the "Return Symbol". It is part of the "Miscellaneous Technical" block in the Unicode standard. The symbol is typically used to denote the "return" or "enter" key on keyboards, particularly in contexts where keyboard layouts or specific keystrokes are being illustrated or discussed. It is designed to represent the act of carriage return, a term that originally referred to a mechanism or lever on a typewriter that would cause the carriage moving the paper to return to the start of the next line. In modern computer systems, it's used as a control character to mark the end of a line of text and the beginning of a new one. |
