U+267A Recycling Symbol for Generic Materials
U+267A was added in Unicode version 3.2 in 2002. It belongs to the block Miscellaneous Symbols in the Basic Multilingual Plane.
This character is a Other Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.
The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+267A forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
The ASTM International Resin Identification Coding System, often abbreviated RIC, is a set of symbols appearing on plastic products that identify the plastic resin out of which the product is made. It was developed in 1988 by the Society of the Plastics Industry (now the Plastics Industry Association) in the United States, but since 2008 it has been administered by ASTM International, an international standards organization.
Due to resemblance to the recycling symbol, RIC symbols are often mistaken for the former. Subsequent revisions to the RIC have replaced the arrows with a solid triangle, but the old symbols are still in common use.
