Hamburger Menu

A UI pattern using three stacked horizontal lines (☰) to hide and reveal a primary navigation menu, most commonly on mobile interfaces. Accessibility considerations include the need for an accessible name (e.g., aria-label="Menu"), keyboard operability, proper focus management when opened, and awareness that the icon's meaning is learned rather than self-evident — users with intellectual disabilities or low digital literacy may recognise it from ubiquitous apps (Instagram, WhatsApp), but novice users often miss it entirely.
