Comment on Why don’t wireless connections (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) use anything between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz?

Radiowaves are not free real estate. Every country has their own laws on what frequencies you’re allowed to use for what.
2.4ghz frequencies are basically as unregulated as they can get in the US, so that’s why wifi used that for the longest time. I’m not sure what devices used 5ghz before, but they took that frequency for wifi. You have to fight for every mhz you can get in radio waves.

shouldn’t the arrow be pointing down?

To be fair I was really lazy and just grabbed the first one I saw with “not” inserted into it.

Growing up I always learned (I think) the “insert missing text” symbol was shaped like the one in the pic, like a caret symbol.
The odd thing is I also remember the caret and inserted word being at the top like in OP’s image, but style guides I can find now show the caret at the bottom and the inserted text at the top.

Wikipedia seems to indicate using a downward facing caret, or a caret with an extra upward arm en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caret_(proofreading)
TIL!
All that to say the formatting of OP’s pic, no matter the direction of the arrow/caret, makes it hard to read. A little “don’t dead open inside” or something.
