➾
U+27BE "➾" Open-Outlined Rightwards Arrow is a typographic symbol that depicts a stylized, hollow arrow pointing to the right, often used in digital interfaces and documentation to indicate navigation, progression, or the forwarding of content. Unlike solid arrows, its outlined or "open" design gives it a lighter, more minimal visual appearance, making it suitable for modern user interface design where clarity and simplicity are valued. This character belongs to the Dingbats Unicode block and can be employed in contexts such as indicating a "next step" in a process, a call-to-action button, or a directional cue in diagrams and text.
