Three Lines Converging Left Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Three Lines Converging Left because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+269F, which you can use as ⚟ in HTML, \269F in CSS, or type with Alt+9887 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Three Lines Converging Left is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+269F is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript.
