U+20D7 "⃗" Combining Right Arrow Above Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+20D7 "⃗" Combining Right Arrow Above is a diacritical mark used in combination with preceding base characters to indicate a vector quantity or directional notation in mathematical and scientific contexts. It is placed directly over a letter, such as a variable, to denote that it represents a vector, as in v⃗ for velocity. This combining character belongs to the Combining Diacritical Marks block and is designed to overlay seamlessly onto the preceding glyph without altering its spacing. The rightward pointing arrow symbol above the base character provides a clear visual representation of directionality, distinguishing vectors from scalar values in written formulas. Its usage is standard in mathematical typesetting and is supported by most modern digital text rendering systems.
