Update: U+237C ⍼ (angzarr) means "azimuth"
The Wikipedia article was updated about a year ago (not my discovery btw) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angzarr

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
