What’s better to indicate a ‘refresh’ button?

by UXStackExchange on September 8, 2017 in uxstackexchange

I am looking for a button to show 'refresh' in a web browser. The best options I've got so far are the following:

↺ and ↻

These are both unicode characters, and I'd like to keep them as text, not images.

Google Chrome uses the second option, but rotated as seen below.

Google Chrome example

So which is better from a design standpoint. My gut is telling me the second, but it doesn't look right.

Thanks!
