Unicode Version 17.0
➠
U+27A0 "➠" Heavy Dashed Triangle-Headed Rightwards Arrow is a typographic symbol within the Dingbats block, characterized by its bold, hollow triangle-shaped arrowhead and a thick, dashed shaft pointing to the right. It was added to the Unicode standard in version 6.0, released in 2010, and is commonly used in digital interfaces, diagrams, and decorative text to indicate direction, progression, or a call to action with a strong, graphic emphasis. This arrow stands out for its heavy weight and segmented line, which gives it a distinctive, unfinished or stenciled appearance compared to solid arrows, making it useful for stylistic headings or visual cues in both formal and informal contexts.
