A rightwards arrow with a tilde operator above it (⥲, U+2972) used for specific directional/transform notation.
U+2972
⥲ is a specialized arrow symbol: a rightwards arrow with a tilde operator above rightwards. It’s useful when you want more than a plain arrow but need a compact, typographic marker. Below are practical ways to copy and use it in text and UI.
Tilde Operator Above Rightwards Arrow Symbol Meaning
⥲ (Unicode U+2972) is named “TILDE OPERATOR ABOVE RIGHTWARDS ARROW.” Visually, it combines two ideas: a rightwards arrow (→ direction) and a tilde operator positioned above it. In practice, it’s used in contexts where notation requires indicating a transformation, approximation, or modified directionality while still emphasizing movement or mapping to the right. Because it’s a dedicated Unicode character rather than a simple ASCII sequence, it helps keep documents consistent across fonts and platforms. Use it in mathematical or technical writing when you need a single, clearly-rendered symbol for specialized arrow notation.
Common uses
- •Indicating a transformation or operation that moves “rightward” in technical writing
- •Adding compact, typographic arrow notation in math notes and worksheets
- •Marking modified mapping/updates in diagrams described in text
- •Representing specialized operators in documentation or specification drafts
- •Using as a visual cue in UI text for a “proceed/continue with adjustment” action
