Rightwards Arrow With Small Triangle Arrowhead

It points right to show direction, sequence, or a destination. Use this right triangle arrow between labels when the first leads to the second, or after a label to point to what follows. Alone, it gives a rightward nudge without naming a target.

Unicode's chart maps this shape to a1right, a Wingdings 3 glyph label. The Wingdings family began with a symbol font for Windows 3.1 in 1992; this arrow's appearance depended on that font.

In 2011, Unicode's Wingdings proposal described the portability problem: a private-use code point had no shared picture because fonts could assign it differently. Encoding the arrow as a Unicode character lets text identify it consistently across supporting fonts.

Why does it look different or blank?

The character is intact; your font may not draw it. As of 2026, Wingdings 3 is not universal; missing support can show a box, blank space, or fallback shape. Fonts may also draw the shaft or small head differently.

Avoid a Wingdings private-use value: another font may map it differently or show nothing. Use the Unicode character instead. In HTML, use 🠂; in JavaScript, use "\u{1F802}". In Word, type 1F802, press Alt+X, and choose a supporting font if needed.
