description: "U-turn animated icon (Arrows). The U-turn is taken. Light: the outlet and head launch back down out of the bend, accelerating, and fade before the edge; a fresh outlet slides out of the bend, lands just past its rest pose and settles. Strong: it winds back into the bend first, launches farther with a speed trail that retracts behind it, and the fresh outlet lands with a bigger overshoot and settles in two beats. The stem and bend never move."

# U-turn animated icon

The U-turn is taken. Light: the outlet and head launch back down out of the bend, accelerating, and fade before the edge; a fresh outlet slides out of the bend, lands just past its rest pose and settles. Strong: it winds back into the bend first, launches farther with a speed trail that retracts behind it, and the fresh outlet lands with a bigger overshoot and settles in two beats. The stem and bend never move.
