<p>WeChat official account management has this horrible looking guy for <code>置顶</code> next to the trash can:</p>

<p>Steam also uses the same character for <code>download now</code>:</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure it is just this character:</p>
<h1>⤒</h1>
<p>(U+2912)</p>
<p>which Unicode calls:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>UPWARDS ARROW TO BAR</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Is ⤒ (upwards arrow to bar) not very easily confused with <code>不</code>?</p>
<p>Especially in the context of WeChat's usage?</p>

<characters>
Is "⤒" (UPWARDS ARROW TO BAR) (U+2912) not easily confused with "不"?

WeChat official account management has this horrible looking guy for `置顶` next to the trash can:

> [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/HbX1k.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/HbX1k.png)

Steam also uses the same character for `download now`:

> [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/lsg4L.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/lsg4L.png)

  
> [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/ZOvdp.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/ZOvdp.png)

I'm pretty sure it is just this character:

# ⤒

(U+2912)

which Unicode calls:

> UPWARDS ARROW TO BAR

Is ⤒ (upwards arrow to bar) not very easily confused with `不`?

Especially in the context of WeChat's usage?

No, it will never be confused, bacause 不 is not always used as a sign in public （因为“不”不太会当作一个符号来使用的）.

No and here's why:

1. characters are seldom used as icons.
2. a single '不' as an icon doesn't seem to make any sense.
3. the trash icon beside that '⤒' indicates it also being a graphical icon.
4. characters (in most fonts) won't be that perfectly symmetrical.
