Heavy Teardrop-Shanked Rightwards Arrow

156/159

➻ is a heavy decorative arrow pointing right that can guide the eye to the next item; what it points to depends on context. It is a text character drawn by the reading font. Its design comes from Hermann Zapf’s 1975–1978 dingbat work—small printer’s ornaments and graphic signs. Unicode encoded it in the Dingbats repertoire in 1993.

Text symbol

What ➻ means

➻ is the heavy teardrop-shanked rightwards arrow. Unicode classifies it as an “other symbol” — Unicode's shelf for signs that are neither maths, money nor punctuation and files it in the Dingbats block; this site shelves it under Stars & signs.

Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.

How it is encoded

➻ is a single code point, U27BB. In HTML that is ➻, and in CSS \27BB.

Why does ➻ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
