Black Rightwards Bullet

Recognized as the Black Rightwards Bullet, this mark serves as a stylized, directional punctuation character within the Common script. It functions as a bold, horizontal pointer that guides the reader’s eye toward specific information. Though it is housed within the General Punctuation block, it is distinguished from standard round bullets by its asymmetrical shape, which resembles a heavy, truncated arrow pointing to the right.

Users typically employ this symbol in typography and graphic design to create structured lists or to signal the start of a response in a dialogue. In digital contexts, such as social posts or presentations, it acts as a decorative lead-in to highlight important takeaways or call-to-action statements. It is also found in technical documentation to indicate steps in a process or to denote items in a glossary where a standard dot feels too passive.
