▷
U+25B7 "▷" White Right-Pointing Triangle is a geometric symbol that represents a hollow or outlined triangle oriented to the right, distinct from its solid counterpart. It is commonly used in digital interfaces as a playback or forward button, often indicating a media control function such as "next track" or "play," though it can also serve in diagrams, flowcharts, or mathematical contexts to denote direction, progression, or a rightward relationship. Its design emphasizes a clear, unobtrusive outline, making it effective for user interfaces where a subtle visual cue is preferred over a filled shape.
