U+27F6 "⟶" Long Rightwards Arrow Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⟶
U+27F6 "⟶" Long Rightwards Arrow is a typographic symbol that represents a longer horizontal arrow pointing to the right, often used in mathematical notation, logic, or diagrams to denote mapping, transformation, implication, or direction with greater visual emphasis than a standard arrow. Its extended length makes it particularly useful in formal proofs, set theory, or flowcharts where a clear and unambiguous directional link is needed. Unlike the basic hyphen-minus or simple arrow, this character is a distinct, precomposed glyph in the Unicode standard, ensuring consistent appearance across different platforms and fonts for conveying relational or sequential information in technical and academic writing.
