About Arrow Symbols
What is this page?
Every arrow in Unicode, in one searchable, click-to-copy place: plain arrows like → and ←, double arrows like ⇒, heavy and curved arrows, and directional triangles like ➤. They are all text characters rather than images, so they paste into any document, message, or code comment and render at whatever size your font is set to.
How to Use It
- Search or scroll. Type a direction or style ("right", "double", "curved") to filter the grid.
- Click to copy. A single click puts the arrow on your clipboard and drops it into the text pad.
- Combine and copy all. Collect a sequence like ← ↑ → in the pad and copy it in one go.
Use Cases
- Showing flows and transformations in documentation: input → process → output
- Keyboard shortcut and menu path instructions: File → Export → PDF
- Callouts in social posts, presentations, and YouTube descriptions
- Commit messages and code comments where "->" feels clumsy
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I type an arrow like → on my keyboard?
There is no standard shortcut on most keyboards, so copying from this page is the practical answer. In Microsoft Word, typing 2192 followed by Alt + X produces →, and both Word and Google Docs will autocorrect two characters like -> into a real arrow as you type.
Are these arrows images or text?
Pure text. Every arrow here is a Unicode character, which means it scales with your font size, matches your text color, works in plain-text fields, and adds nothing to your page weight. You can use them anywhere you can type.
What is the difference between → and ⇒?
By convention the single arrow → shows direction, movement, or a step in a sequence, while the double arrow ⇒ means implication or consequence, especially in math and logic ("A ⇒ B" reads as "A implies B"). In everyday writing you can use whichever looks better, but technical readers will notice the distinction.
Will arrows display correctly on all devices?
The common set (→ ← ↑ ↓ ⇒ ↔) renders virtually everywhere, including old browsers and email clients. Some of the ornate or rarely used arrows depend on the fonts installed, so if maximum compatibility matters, for example in an email subject line, stick to the basics.
Which arrow works best in documentation and commit messages?
The plain right arrow → is the safe choice: it is compact, renders in monospace fonts, and reads clearly in diffs and terminals. Heavy or decorated arrows like ➤ and ➜ look great in headings and social posts but can render inconsistently in code-focused tools.
