Wide-Headed Rightwards Medium Barb Arrow

97/162

🡲 points right to show direction, movement, a handoff, or a next step. This barb arrow fits diagrams, labels, and instructions better than casual reactions. Its design lineage runs through symbol fonts; a box usually means the active font lacks the glyph.

Text symbol

What 🡲 means

It points right to mark direction, movement, or sequence.

Use it between items when what comes first leads, points, or hands off to what follows. In diagrams, labels, and instructions, nearby text tells whether the link marks a route, next step, or target.

This arrow has a symbol-font lineage

Lucida Icons, Arrows, and Stars were symbol fonts: typefaces that assigned pictograms to character positions for documents and computer interfaces. Kris Holmes and Charles Bigelow designed them in 1990–91; Microsoft renamed and released the group as Wingdings in 1992. Unicode later gave such font-era symbols portable character identities, making them easier to exchange and search without a particular Wingdings mapping.

How do I type 🡲?

Enter U1F872 in an editor with Unicode input.

If an editor accepts hexadecimal or code-point input, use U1F872; the keystrokes depend on that app and operating system.

Do not rely on a Wingdings mapping for text exchange: it may display a picture only while that font is active. In browsers and editors, a font without this glyph may show a box or fallback drawing.

Technical and diagrammatic: it marks direction or sequence more naturally than a personal reaction.

A box points to missing font support, not a change in what the sender typed.

Questions people ask

2

Is 🡲 an emoji?

No. Unicode treats 🡲 as a text symbol, not an emoji; its role here is to mark direction or sequence.

Why does 🡲 show as a box?

Font support. The active font may lack 🡲, producing a box or fallback drawing; choose a font that includes it.
