U+21E5 "⇥" Rightwards Arrow to Bar Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+21E5 "⇥" Rightwards Arrow to Bar is a typographic symbol that represents a tabulation or indentation command, often seen in user interfaces, text editors, and programming environments to denote the action of moving the cursor or insertion point to the next tab stop. Its design features a horizontal arrow pointing to the right, terminating at a vertical bar, visually suggesting movement toward a fixed boundary or column. Unlike the simple tab character, this glyph is used for display or instructional purposes, such as in menu labels, keyboard shortcuts, or diagrams illustrating cursor movement. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures consistent representation across digital platforms and documents, making it a useful tool for technical writing and software documentation.
