About this symbol
Unicode calls this character Leftwards Arrow and gives it the code point U+2190. It is part of the arrow symbols set on this site.
This is a text character rather than an emoji, so it takes the colour and font of the text around it. That is what makes symbols usable in usernames, form fields and games that reject emoji.
