Black Rightwards Arrowhead ➤
Symbol Meaning
Unlike the classic arrow with a tail, the tip looks bigger and more contrasting in the text, especially if it has a black fill. It can be used not only to show directions, but to make set ornaments, bullet lists, headlines, nicknames, schemes.
A filled right-pointing arrow tip is a classic example of an index icon. Unicode has other similar symbols, which look even more three-dimensional, like ➢, ➣.
The symbol “Black Rightwards Arrowhead” is included in the “Dingbat arrows” subblock of the “Dingbats” block and was approved as part of Unicode version 1.1 in 1993.
