Unicode Version 17.0

U+2B99 "⮙" Three-D Right-Lighted Upwards Equilateral Arrowhead is a typographic symbol that depicts an upward-pointing arrowhead with a three-dimensional shading effect on its right side, giving it a raised or illuminated appearance. It belongs to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block and is classified as a graphic shape rather than a standard directional or mathematical arrow. This character is often used in user interfaces, controls, or diagrams to visually suggest a button that moves content upward or to indicate a highlighted ascendant direction. Its distinctive styling with a simulated light source adds depth, making it suitable for modern icon sets or visual cues in digital environments where a more dimensional aesthetic is desired.
