What ➩ means
It points right; shading adds style. This right-shaded white arrow works as a visual handoff, transition, or list cue. Its shape carries the meaning; it has no fixed message beyond that.
Dingbats are ready-made printing symbols—arrows, borders, ornaments—set beside text as visual cues. The Zapf Dingbats lineage was developed for computer publishing during 1975–1978. Fonts can vary ➩’s weight, shading, and proportions, so pair it with words in a precise interface or safety notice.
Typographic and decorative; suited to informal signposting.
Avoid it where interface, math, or safety directions need exact shapes.

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.
