U+26DB Heavy White Down-Pointing Triangle
U+26DB was added in Unicode version 5.2 in 2009. 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 character is also known as drive slow.
The glyph is not a composition. Its width in East Asian texts is determined by its context. It can be displayed wide or narrow. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. If its East Asian Width is “narrow”, U+26DB forms a word with similar characters, which prevents a line break inside it. Otherwise it allows line breaks around it, except in some numeric contexts.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
In road transport, a give way or yield sign indicates that merging drivers must prepare to stop if necessary to let a driver on another approach proceed. A driver who stops or slows down to let another vehicle through has yielded the right of way to that vehicle. In contrast, a stop sign requires each driver to stop completely before proceeding, whether or not other traffic is present. Under the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, the international standard for the modern sign is an inverted equilateral triangle with a red border and either a white or yellow background. Particular regulations regarding appearance, installation, and compliance with the signs vary by some jurisdiction.
