I want to know whether Unicode has a symbol for synchronization, which is usually two arrows following each other in a circle. These symbols ↷⎋⇄⟲☯♻ are the closest I could find.

I am afraid the question will be closed per Let's play the guessing game, even though I believe it would be searchable, and thus useful to many other people.

So, on-topic, off-topic, better on another site, or a plainly bad question?

At least apparently there was a time when this was deemed a good question on StackOverflow:
Is there a Unicode glyph that looks like a "key" icon?

    For the record, the question you link to is definitely also off-topic. It's probably only still open since no-one's called attention to it until now.

This is definitely not on topic at Stack Overflow. It is simply not a programming problem.

With a bit of work, I can imagine that it might be possible that it could be suitable at UX.SE or at Graphic Design.SE* (I've qualified that statement repeatedly because I'm not a member on either of those sites and don't actually know whether it would be on topic there.) You probably want to check in first with a Meta question similar to this one on the appropriate per-site Meta.

Before doing so, however, I suggest that you would need to turn it into something other than just "look through the Unicode tables for me". If you were to elaborate on your requirements -- why it is you're interested in a Unicode symbol (and limitations on alternatives), restrictions on the actual form, what exactly you're using it for, and so on -- you would be more likely to have a question which would elicit thoughtful but factual answers from experts.

*Based on a question in a related vein there: What is the name of this heart-like decorative symbol?
