What ➠ means
It sends the eye toward what comes next.
This heavy dashed arrow marks a heading, list, or transition, adding emphasis without giving a precise instruction.
The arrow sign grew from drawings of an archer’s arrow. An early documented diagram, from 1737, uses arrows for water flow and a waterwheel’s turn. The Dingbats block draws on ITC Zapf Dingbats series 100, a set of printer’s symbols.
An editorial flourish: bold enough to break up plain text.
For precise directions, use a plain arrow; ➠ adds emphasis.

1Can an old document change ➠?
It can. Before Unicode became a shared encoding standard, some symbol fonts mapped character positions to drawings; a different font could show a different design. Unicode keeps character identity separate from font artwork.
