U+1F851 "🡑" Upwards Sans-Serif Arrow Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
🡑
U+1F851 "🡑" Upwards Sans-Serif Arrow is a graphical symbol belonging to the Supplemental Arrows-C block, designed with a clean, minimalist sans-serif style for its upward pointing arrowhead. It is typically used in digital interfaces, diagrams, or technical documentation to indicate a direction upward, such as in navigation menus, sorting controls, or data flow representations. This character is often chosen over plain ASCII arrows when a more polished and modern visual appearance is desired, and it is distinct from other arrow characters in Unicode due to its simple, thick, and unembellished line structure.
