Right Arrow with Large Triangular Head

Use a Unicode-aware symbol picker or your app’s character map. No ordinary keyboard has a dedicated key for 🠊.

An old slot in Wingdings 3 works only in a document using that font; Unicode makes the character more portable between apps, but the receiving app still needs a font that can draw it.

Kris Holmes and Charles Bigelow designed Lucida Icons, Arrows, and Stars in 1990 and 1991; Microsoft reorganized them into Wingdings, released in 1992. Wingdings 3 includes this large-head arrow. A 2011 Unicode proposal sought dedicated characters so symbol-font pictures could be exchanged and searched without relying on private font slots.

What does 🠊 mean?

It points right to a next step or destination. Between labels, it can mean “leads to,” “maps to,” or “becomes.” In a message, its oversized head makes direction easy to spot, so it reads like a diagram cue more than an emotional reaction.

The arrow idea predates this font style: a 1737 hydraulic diagram used an arrow to show water flow and wheel rotation. Maps use arrows for movement, while technical diagrams use them to show relationships.
