Unicode Version 17.0
➥
U+27A5 "➥" Heavy Black Curved Downwards and Rightwards Arrow is a typographic symbol that depicts a thick, bold arrow with a sweeping curve that first descends downward and then turns sharply to the right, suggesting a directional flow or redirection of movement. It is part of the Dingbats block in Unicode, specifically used in digital text to represent concepts like downloading, navigating to a follow-up point, or highlighting a logical progression from a higher point to a lateral outcome. Visually, its heavy weight and curved design distinguish it from standard straight arrows, giving it a more dynamic and informal appearance often employed in user interfaces, diagrams, or instructional graphics.
