U+1F666 "🙦" Heavy North East Pointing Bud Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
🙦
U+1F666 "🙦" Heavy North East Pointing Bud is a seldom used symbol from the Dingbats block, part of a set of directional arrow or pointer variants that are designed with a thicker, bolder stroke compared to standard arrows. Its name specifies a filled or "heavy" design that points towards the northeast, making it suitable for use in cartographic diagrams, technical illustrations, or directional signage where a strong visual indicator is required. While it was included in Unicode 6.0 as part of a broader collection of ornamental arrow symbols, it does not appear frequently in common digital communication, often being mistaken for or replaced by simpler arrow characters.
