icons - Symbol for "Swipe Left"



I'm working on an app that displays a list of ten items (text items) on the screen at a time. If there are more than ten items, the user should be able to "swipe" from right to left to see the next 10, or left to right to see the previous 10.


Is there a well-understood symbol I can use to indicate that the user should swipe? Even if not, is there a symbol that will make sense to the user once they've learned that they can swipe?


If not, please address a different model of going through a large list of items in your answer, and I'll change my question :)



Answer



Why not try some variation of the following (crude) sketch, with the circle indicating a touch point and the arrow a swipe?
