Upper Left Triangle Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Upper Left Triangle because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+25F8, which you can use as ◸ in HTML, \25F8 in CSS, or type with Alt+9720 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Upper Left Triangle is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+25F8 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Upper Left Triangle has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ◸ or the hex escape ◸.
