Long Rightwards Arrow

Known as the Long Rightwards Arrow, this symbol represents a horizontal pointer that extends significantly further than a standard arrow. In mathematical and logical contexts, it is frequently read as "implies" or "tends to," appearing within scripts common to various technical disciplines. It is part of the Supplemental Arrows A block, designed to provide a distinct visual length for clearer horizontal directionality in dense text or complex notations.

Practitioners commonly use this symbol in chemistry to indicate a reaction proceeding in one direction. In mathematics, it denotes functions and mapping, visually connecting a domain to a codomain. Typographically, it serves as a stylized element in digital layouts to guide reader attention more prominently than shorter variants, appearing in instructional diagrams or user interfaces where a strong directional cue is required.
