Is there an upside down caret character

Question

I have to maintain a large number of classic ASP pages  many of which have tabular data with no sort capabilities at all  Whatever order the original developer used in the database query is what you re stuck with   I want to to tack on some basic sorting to a bunch of these pages  and I m doing it all client side with javascript  I already have the basic script done to sort a given table on a given column in a given direction  and it works well as long as the table is limited by certain conventions we follow here     What I want to do for the UI is just indicate sort direction with the caret character       and     what   Is there a special character that is the direct opposite of a caret   The letter v won t quite cut it   Alternatively  is there another character pairing I can use

There is no upside down caret character  but you can easily rotate the caret with CSS  This is a simple solution that looks perfect  Press  Run code snippet  to see it in action    x000D   x000D   upsidedown   x000D  transform rotate 180deg    x000D  -webkit-transform rotate 180deg   x000D  -o-transform rotate 180deg   x000D  -ms-transform rotate 180deg   x000D    x000D   upsidedown caret   x000D  display  inline-block   x000D  position relative   x000D  bottom  0 15em  x000D    x000D  more items  lt span class  upsidedown caret  gt   lt  span gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    Please note the following      I did a little correction for the positioning of the caret  as it is normally high  thus low in the rotated version   You want to move it a little up  This  little  is relative to the font-size  hence the  em   Depending on your font choice  you might want to fiddle with this to make it look good   This solution does not work in IE8  You should use a filter if you want IE8 support  IE8 support is not really required nor common in 2018  If you want to use this in combination with Twitter Bootstrap  please rename the class  caret  to something else  like  caret down   as it collides with a class name from Twitter Bootstrap
