Black Medium Left-pointing Triangle Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Black Medium Left-pointing Triangle because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+23F4, which you can use as ⏴ in HTML, \23F4 in CSS, or type with Alt+9204 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Black Medium Left-pointing Triangle is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+23F4 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript.
