Left-Pointing Stick Figure

Left-Pointing Stick Figure at U+1CC02 is a pictographic legacy-computing symbol showing a simple human figure oriented to the left. It is part of the Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement block, which encodes shapes used by older character-cell computers, teletext systems, and related text graphics environments. Its main use is archival and compatibility-oriented: it lets software represent old screen art, game graphics, and interface elements as text instead of replacing them with images. A preserved retro game map, terminal mockup, or character-set conversion table may use 𜰂 as a compact person icon, player marker, pedestrian symbol, or directional indicator facing left. It can also appear in modern projects that deliberately imitate low-resolution computer displays, such as pixel-art documentation, emulator test pages, retro UI fonts, or plain-text illustrations. The practical caveat is font availability: many general-purpose fonts do not yet cover this supplementary block, so the character may show as a missing-glyph box outside specialist legacy-computing or symbol fonts.
