What are arrow symbols?
Arrow symbols are text characters that indicate direction, movement or relationships. The 109 arrows in this collection include left, right, up, down and diagonal directions, as well as double, curved and decorative forms.
A simple → can connect steps, ↔ can show a two-way relationship, and a curved arrow can suggest a return. Some arrows also carry specific mathematical meanings, so choose with the context in mind. These are copyable text characters; they do not become clickable navigation controls when pasted.
How to find and copy an arrow
Pick a direction
Choose a direction category or search for “right”, “left”, “down” or “double”. You can also search for a specific code point such as U+2192.
Copy the arrow
Click a card and wait for Copied, then paste it into your document or message. Compare how the arrow aligns with nearby text.
Add context
Use + Add to combine arrows with words, such as Start → Review → Done. Copy the completed sequence from the bottom editor.
Match an arrow to its purpose
Use → for a next step, ← for a return direction, ↑ or ↓ for vertical movement, and ↔ for a two-way relationship. Curved arrows can suggest a return or rotation. Pair them with words when a direction needs to be unambiguous.
Single, double and decorative arrows
Double arrows such as ⇒ have specific meanings in some mathematical contexts. Decorative arrows are useful in captions but should not replace the accessible label on a real navigation button. Search includes the official character name and its code point.
Copying into documents and apps
These are Unicode characters, not drawn shapes. They can be pasted into ordinary text fields if the destination allows them. If an arrow appears as a box, try a simpler arrow or a font with broader symbol coverage.
Frequently asked questions
How do I copy a simple right arrow?
Search for U+2192 or “rightwards arrow”, then click the → card. It is a text arrow that can be pasted into fields supporting that character.
What is the difference between → and ⇒?
They are distinct characters. → is a rightwards arrow and ⇒ is a rightwards double arrow. In mathematics, a double arrow may indicate implication; it should not be substituted automatically just for a heavier appearance.
Can I use an arrow in a button or link label?
An arrow can accompany a readable label, such as “Next →”. Copying the arrow does not create a link or button. In an interface, the underlying control still needs its own action and accessible name.
Why does an arrow show as a square?
The destination font may not include that character. Try a simpler arrow such as →, ←, ↑ or ↓, or select a font with broader symbol support if the app lets you change it.
Can I combine several arrows with text?
Yes. Add the arrows you need, type your labels into the editor, and copy the result. New-line spacing can help when you want one step on each line rather than a single long sequence.
