Known as the Black Rightwards Arrowhead, this symbol is a solid, triangular pointer directed toward the right. It originates from the Dingbats block and is categorized among common arrow symbols.

It is typically referred to by its descriptive name or simply as a right-pointing arrowhead.

In modern typography and digital communication, this character frequently serves as a bullet point for high-impact lists or as a navigational indicator on signs and buttons. It is also commonly used in social media posts to highlight links or calls to action. In technical documentation and programming tutorials, it may represent a step-by-step progression or denote a specific selection in a software menu hierarchy.
