U+27AE "➮" Heavy Upper Right-Shadowed White Rightwards Arrow is a typographic symbol that represents a thick, white arrow with a shadow effect originating from the upper right, giving it a three dimensional or embossed appearance. It points horizontally to the right and is typically used in decorative contexts, web design, or user interfaces to indicate direction, forward movement, or progression.
