Wedge-Tailed Rightwards Arrow

Known as the Wedge-Tailed Rightwards Arrow, this character is a stylized directional pointer found within the Dingbats block. It is characterized by a heavy, triangular fletching at the tail end that narrows into a thin shaft before terminating in a sharp arrowhead. While primarily a visual symbol rather than a phonetic character, it is generally read as rightwards arrow or simply arrow in a descriptive context.

Users typically employ this symbol in typography and graphic design to provide a distinct visual emphasis that standard arrows lack. It is frequently seen in digital signage and instructional layouts to indicate a transition or to lead the reader's eye toward a specific call to action. In social media posts and modern messaging, it serves as a decorative bullet point or a way to highlight a sequence of steps. Some technical diagrams also utilize the wedge tail to differentiate specific flow paths from standard data lines.
