Unicode Version 17.0
🡣
U+1F863 "🡣" Wide-Headed Downwards Light Barb Arrow is a typographic symbol that belongs to the Supplemental Arrows-C block, designed for use in technical notation, diagramming, and specialized text layouts where a distinct downward pointing arrow with a wide, unfilled head and light barbed shaft is required. Its visual style differentiates it from standard arrows, providing a subtle yet clear directional cue often employed in flowcharts, maps, or user interface mockups to indicate a downward movement, transition, or action without the heavy visual weight of common arrow symbols.
