Unicode Version 17.0
⁍
U+204D "⁍" Black Rightwards Bullet is a typographic symbol classified within the General Punctuation block, designed to function as a visual marker or pointer in text. Its distinct appearance, a solid black arrowhead pointing to the right, makes it useful for indicating direction, separating items in a list, or drawing attention to a specific piece of information without resorting to standard dashes or asterisks. While not as commonly used as the regular bullet point, it carries a more emphatic or directional quality, often appearing in technical documentation, menus, or decorative layouts where a rightward flow or progression needs to be subtly suggested.
