It's mainly useful for pinpointing a specific spot on a map or diagram. It also signifies 'southwest' on an eight-point compass.

Its usage is less frequent than other arrows, which gives it a more professional or technical feel. It's effective for showing a character's movement path in a game or for highlighting a downward trend of specific data in a complex chart.
