White Left-pointing Small Triangle Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for White Left-pointing Small Triangle because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+25C3, which you can use as ◃ in HTML, \25C3 in CSS, or type with Alt+9667 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. White Left-pointing Small Triangle is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+25C3 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. White Left-pointing Small Triangle has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ◃ or the hex escape ◃.
