Arrows and their usual meanings

The simple right arrow (U+2192) is the everyday choice for steps, directions and from-to pairs such as Paris to Rome. The double arrow (U+21D2) means implies in logic and mathematics, and the double left right arrow (U+21D4) means if and only if. The hooked return arrow is a common sign for reply or back, the circle arrows for refresh and reload, and the stacked pair of arrows for swap or exchange.

Heavy and triangle-headed arrows work well as bullets and in headings, where a thin arrow would disappear. In keyboard shortcuts the enter symbol (U+21B5) and the return symbol (U+23CE) show the Enter key.

Arrows in code and documents

In HTML you can write → for the right arrow or the numeric code shown when you select an arrow. In CSS content use the escape, for example \2192. In Word, type the code (2192) and press Alt+X to turn it into the arrow.

Frequently asked questions

What is the code for the right arrow?

U+2192. In HTML it is → or →, and in CSS \2192.

Why do some arrows look like emoji on my phone?

A few arrows also exist as emoji. This page copies them with a marker for the text style, so most apps show them as plain arrows.

How do I copy a symbol?

Click or tap it. It is copied to the clipboard right away and added to the text box at the top, so you can also collect several symbols and copy them together.

Why does a symbol look different after pasting?

Each app draws symbols with its own font. The character is the same, only its design changes. If you see an empty box, the font in that app has no drawing for that symbol.

Why are there no emoji?

This page is for text symbols that work like letters. Some of them can turn into emoji on phones, so they are copied with a marker that asks for the plain text style.

Can I search in my own language?

Yes. Names are in the language of the page. You can also paste a symbol into the search box or search by its code, such as 2192.

Is anything sent or saved?

Nothing is sent anywhere. Your recently copied symbols are saved only in this browser and you can clear them at any time.
