Surface Mount IC Pin 1 identification

[symmetal]

Making my first surface mount PCB and the TSOT23-8 IC has these markings only. There are no beveled edges or cut-outs/indents to indicate pin 1 and the manufacturer states a dot is used. As you can see it's tiny 😬, with 0.65mm pin spacing and I can only assume the arrow indicates pin 1. Web searches haven't helped, so before I attempt to hand solder it on the board it would be nice to know for sure. If anyone can confirm it's pin 1 it would be helpful. 😀

It's a LTC4365, overvoltage, undervoltage and reverse supply protection controller and thought it's worth checking it out as protection for an imaging setup against faulty supplies which could be costly. It's only available in this package size.

My guess - it is the little arrow under the "L"

If you turn your photo upside down then the lettering on the diagram is oriented the same and the little arrow is in the same position as the dot.

Pin 1 is the top right pin in the photo as you correctly assume.

Thanks for the replies and confirmation. 🙂 I'll have a go at soldering it on today.
