An arrow from the family of dingbats. Hermann Zapf 100 series, in particular. It was created more than half a century ago for decorating typed texts in books.

Now you can copy it and diversify your row of letters with such an index pointing to the right.

He targets the heart of a human, so that this living creature falls in love with the soulmate. Sometimes Cupid misses, and the arrow pierces other parts of the human body, causing absolutely different types of emotions.
