An upward chevron marking the control modifier on a keyboard.
Also known as: Control modifier glyph
The caret-like chevron ⌃ stands for the control key in printed shortcuts, chiefly on Apple keyboards and in macOS menus where modifiers are shown as glyphs rather than words.
Two short straight strokes meeting at a point at the top, opening downward like the roof of a house with no walls beneath it.
Both are drawn as a bare upward chevron; one names a keyboard modifier, the other anchors a pattern to the start of a line.
Both are upward-pointing marks used as modifiers; the shift key's is a filled outlined arrow with a stem, the control key's a bare chevron.
Both are used in software contexts.
