U+2B6C "⭬" Rightwards Triangle-Headed Dashed Arrow Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2B6C "⭬" Rightwards Triangle-Headed Dashed Arrow is a specialized typographic symbol that depicts an arrow pointing to the right with a triangular arrowhead and a dashed or broken shaft. This character belongs to the "Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows" block and is commonly used in diagrams, flowcharts, technical documentation, or data visualization contexts where a standard solid arrow might imply a different meaning. The dashed line component often indicates a tentative, hypothetical, indirect, or interrupted directional relationship, making it particularly useful for mapping out potential paths, suggested movements, or transitional processes that are not yet concrete or fully realized.
