U+FFEA "↑" Halfwidth Upwards Arrow Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
↑
U+FFEA "↑" Halfwidth Upwards Arrow is a typographic symbol belonging to the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, designed to match the visual width of halfwidth Latin characters typically used in East Asian computing environments. It represents a simple upward pointing arrow and is often employed in text-based user interfaces, legacy terminal applications, or as a visual indicator for directional movement or increase. Its halfwidth design allows it to align neatly within monospaced text grids without disrupting the layout, making it a practical choice for compact information displays or annotation systems where space is limited.
