Unicode Version 17.0
⮟
U+2B9F "⮟" Black Downwards Equilateral Arrowhead is a typographic symbol classified under the "Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows" block, representing a solid, equilateral triangle shape pointing downward. It is often used in digital interfaces, diagrams, or menus to indicate a downward direction, collapse, or dropdown action, similar to other arrowhead glyphs but with a purely filled, geometric form. Unlike some more common arrows, this character is specifically designed as a compact, triangular weight rather than a thin line, making it suitable for use in technical notations, signage, or as a design element in user interfaces where a distinct downward pointer is needed.
