Arrow Symbols meanings

Arrows in Unicode

There are more than 600 arrows in Unicode. They have different functions and play different roles. They can be used to indicate directions 🡲 , to define logical flows ⇏ or for visual reference of arrow-keys → .

Arrow appereance can be absolutly different: arrows can be wavy ↝ , zigzag ↯ , heavy 🡇 , different directed ⥄ , circle ⭮ , double-headed ⟷ , feathered ➶ or ribbon-like ⮵ .

Mostly there are horizontal arrows encoded in Unicode: 🢠 to the left and to the right 🢡 . However, there're some kinds of arrows in Unicode to index other directions: upwards 🠕 and downwrads 🠗 .

All simple single-headed or double-headed arrows can be implemented by different character encodingsare of 8 directions: 2 horizontal, 2 vertical and 4 diagonal.

In 1991 the first version of Unicode 1.0 contained 130 arrows.

The base arrows are placed in Arrows2190–21FF section.

Meaning of Arrow Symbol

If you are intrested in the meaning of any arrow, you should mouse over a symbol to see its name. Also you can move to the page dedicated to that symbol. Arrows can indicate force directions in Physics, they can be used to point directions in public places or as Maths symbols. There're plenty of roles arrows can play, and some of the arrows meanings you can see following.

Arrows in Maths

Long arrows In Unicode, long arrows occupy the range U+27F5...U+21F. Long arrows differ from their short versions not only styllistically with their glyphes but also semantically. For instance, short arrows are used for limits: lim 0→infinity. And long arrows are used with transforms (eg: Fourier transform).

How Can I Type an Arrow Symbol?

  1. Make sure you switch on the NumLock,
  2. Press and hold down the Alt key with your left hand,
  3. Type the Alt Code value of the arrow you want.

Example: If you need an arrow down symbol ↓ , type 25 on the numeric pad, holding the Alt key.

How Can I Find Alt Code of an Arrow Aymbol?

Our website is a goldmine of such information. All you need is to move to the page of the arrow you need. For example here: ↓ and in section “Technical details” you will find Alt Code. In the case above: 25.

Why Arrows Are So Handy

Arrows are essential across many contexts — showing direction, offering guidance, or simply adding visual interest to text. Common arrow types include:

  • Up Arrow (↑)
  • Down Arrow (↓)
  • Right Arrow (→)
  • Left Arrow (←)
  • Diagonal Arrows (↗, ↙)
  • Double or ‘Twin’ Arrows (↔, ↕)

Here are some places and situations where arrows come in handy:

  1. Navigation or Menus
    “Click the arrow (→) to move to the next slide.”
    “Scroll up (↑) for more content and down (↓) to see further details.”
  2. Instructions or Guides
    “Follow the steps below ↓ to complete the setup.”
    “Use the arrow keys (↑, ↓, ←, →) to move your character.”
  3. Social Media Posts or Captions
    “This way → for the best local coffee shop!”
    “Check out my latest blog post (link below ↓).”
  4. Decorative Text
    “I love using fancy arrows (➜, ➠) in my quotes or headings.”
    “Choose your own path ↔ #Motivation.”

Inspiring Combinations of Arrows and Emojis

Arrows can be paired with other symbols or emojis to convey unique messages. Below are a few engaging matchups:

  • Arrow + Check Mark (→✅)
    Indicate a confirmed direction or completed step.
    “Proceed with confidence →✅ Everything’s ready!”
  • Arrow + Heart (↗️❤️)
    Show love is on the rise or a playful sense of direction.
    “My feelings are pointing toward you ↗️❤️”
  • Arrow + Star (➔⭐)
    Highlight a goal, a highlight, or a milestone.
    “All steps lead to success ➔⭐ Keep going!”
  • Down Arrow + Fire (🔥↓)
    Represent something descending dramatically or ‘dropping hot.’
    “Prices dropped 🔥↓ Don’t miss out on these deals!”
  • Double Arrow + Hourglass (↔️⏳)
    Suggest passing time or a pending decision that can go either way.
    “We have to decide soon ↔️⏳ The deadline is approaching.”

Text-Only Variations: ASCII Arrows, Kaomoji, and More

If you need arrow-like characters in an environment that doesn’t support emojis — or simply want a retro feel — you have multiple options.

Basic ASCII and Unicode Arrows

  • Plain ASCII Arrows: ->, =>, <-, ^-^, v
  • Common Unicode Arrows: ↑, ↓, ←, →
  • Double/Decorative Arrows: ⟶, ⇒, ⇢, ⇨

Kaomoji With Arrows

  • (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ – more about flipping tables, but shows arrow-like lines.
  • (→_→) – A sideways glance, with arrows for eyes.
  • (↼_↼) or (⇀_⇀) – Looking left or right with arrow eyes.

You can also place arrows around kaomoji to emphasize direction:

←(•‿•)→ — A character pointing in two directions.
