U+2B68 "⭨" South East Triangle-Headed Arrow Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2B68 "⭨" South East Triangle-Headed Arrow is a typographic symbol in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, specifically designed to depict an arrow pointing diagonally to the lower right with a triangular head, as opposed to the more common barbed or V-shaped arrowheads. It is primarily used in diagrams, technical documentation, maps, or user interface design where precise directional flow, particularly a downward and rightward movement, needs to be indicated without visual ambiguity. Unlike standard arrow characters that might have open or stylized tips, its solid triangular head gives it a bold, filled appearance that enhances readability in small font sizes or at low screen resolutions. This character is part of a set of eight triangular-headed arrows covering all cardinal and intercardinal directions, providing a consistent visual language for directional cues in computing and publishing.
