Black Rightwards Arrow Symbol Meaning
➡ (BLACK RIGHTWARDS ARROW, U+27A1) is a right-pointing arrow that visually communicates direction, progress, or “go to the next/rightward item.” Because it’s a map symbol category entry, it’s often used to suggest movement across space or to guide readers to something located on the right side of a diagram, menu, or layout. In writing, it can also indicate steps (e.g., “go right”), transitions (“next →”), or a choice that leads rightward. Like other arrows, it’s primarily understood as directional rather than mathematical or technical, though it can appear in UI labels and navigation cues.
