Rightwards White Arrow Symbol Meaning
⇨ (Unicode U+21E8) is a rightwards, white arrow used to suggest movement or direction toward something to the right. In writing and UI text, it commonly signals “go to the next step,” “continue,” or “this points to the destination.” Because it’s visually strong without looking like a thick black arrow, it’s often used for lightweight guidance in interfaces, tutorials, and inline calls-to-action. It can also represent a link or workflow handoff when you want a clear “from here to there” feel. Depending on context, it may read as progression, navigation, or a transformation arrow in informal text.

- •Labeling links or navigation targets in user interfaces
