Rightwards Arrow-tail Symbol Meaning
The symbol ⤚ (Unicode U+291A), named RIGHTWARDS ARROW-TAIL, is a right-pointing arrow style glyph. Visually, it suggests movement or progress toward the right, and it can also imply continuation from one idea, step, or item to the next. Because it’s an arrow-tail variant, it often reads as a subtle “go on / move forward” mark rather than a thick, bold arrow. Commonly, designers and writers use it in lightweight UI labels, document flows, diagrams, and text callouts where a direction cue is helpful but you don’t want a large arrow. It’s also convenient for headings and inline annotations.
