U+27B5 "➵" Black-Feathered Rightwards Arrow Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
➵
U+27B5 "➵" Black-Feathered Rightwards Arrow is a typographic symbol characterized by a bold, black arrowhead with distinctive feathered or fletched notches along its shaft, pointing to the right. It belongs to the Dingbats block of the Unicode standard and is often used in digital text, diagrams, or user interfaces to indicate direction, progression, or a forward motion with a decorative, slightly ornate style. Unlike a simple arrow, its feathered design adds a layer of visual emphasis or thematic flair, making it suitable for headings, lists, or informal notations where a standard arrow might seem too plain.
