The Unicode symbol U+237C

(Right angle with downwards zigzag arrow) .a.k.a. the Angzarr, was included in an ISO Unicode recommendation document in year 2000 - in the section 'Miscellaneous Technical' (ref.).

Its first recorded use appears to be from the 1970s as a Monotype symbol ^{[ ref. needed ]}

Since 2002 it has been officially included as a Unicode character.

The meaning of the symbol seems to have been lost. Suggestions include the possibllity that it may have been an electrical symbol, a mathematical symbol, or a graph symbol &etc..
