What ➽ means
It directs attention toward the right.
As an arrow symbol, it can lead a list or show which direction to follow. Nearby words identify its destination.
Where did ➽ come from?
Its ornate design belongs to a printer’s symbol set.
The design comes from ITC Zapf Dingbats series 100, a set of printer ornaments used with PostScript printers in the 1980s and early 1990s. An engineering book from 1737 used an arrow to show water flow; by 1922, arrows also marked implication in logic. Those are milestones in arrow history, not the origin of this exact form.

1Why 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.
