Meaning & usage

Arrows are the most useful symbols on the internet after hearts: they point, they say 'next', 'go here', 'this way'. This page collects the full family in one grid — the four straight arrows (← ↑ → ↓), diagonals for 'open in new tab' moments (↗), double arrows for emphasis (⇒), curved arrows for replies and returns (↩), and the fat arrows (⬆ ⬇) that social apps made famous. Every tile is named and copies with one click; the four main directions also have their own pages with typing shortcuts.

Windows

There is no Alt code or direct key for →. In Microsoft Word, type 2192 and press Alt+X to convert it. Everywhere else, click the Copy button at the top of this page and paste it (Ctrl+V) — that always works.

Mac

There is no Option-key shortcut for → on a Mac. Open the Character Viewer with Control+Command+Space, search for "Arrow Symbols", and double-click to insert — or copy it from this page.

iPhone & Android

Most phone keyboards have no built-in key for →. Open this page on your phone, tap Copy, then paste it into your message or bio. (On Android, Gboard's emoji search finds some symbols by name.)

Frequently asked questions

How do I type arrows on a keyboard?

Most arrows have no key. Windows Word converts --> into → automatically, and on this page every arrow copies with one click. Linux users can type Ctrl+Shift+U then the hex code (2192 for →).

Which arrow means 'external link' or 'opens new page'?

The diagonal ↗ (north-east arrow) is the standard symbol for leaving the current page or opening a link in a new tab.

What is the difference between → and ⇒?

→ is the everyday arrow. ⇒ (double arrow) means 'implies' or 'leads to' in logic and maths, and adds emphasis in notes.

Why does → sometimes show as a box or question mark?

The box (called tofu) means the device or font viewing it has no drawing for U+2192 (Rightwards Arrow). The character itself is fine — try a different font or a newer device, or use one of the variants on this page.

Is the Arrow Symbols free to use?

Yes. → is a standard Unicode text character published in the Unicode Character Database. You may use it in personal and commercial documents, designs and products without permission or payment.
