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+2B07 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.
The CLDR project calls this character “down arrow” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: arrow, cardinal, direction, down, south.
This character is designated as an emoji. It will be rendered as monochrome character on conforming platforms. To enable colorful emoji display, you can combine it with Variation Selector-16: ⬇️ See the Emojipedia for more details on this character’s emoji properties.
