About the rightwards dashed arrow symbol

A rightwards dashed arrow indicates a direction or movement to the right, often with a sense of discontinuity, broken flow, or an indirect path, as opposed to a solid arrow's clear, direct route. It appears in diagrams, technical documentation, and mathematical notation to represent a transition, mapping, or implication that is implied or not fully continuous, and is also used in text-based interfaces or plain-text formatting to show a rightward direction without a solid line.
