Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans Math Source: Browser Default

U+21E2 "" Rightwards Dashed Arrow is a typographic symbol that depicts an arrow pointing to the right, formed with a dashed rather than a solid line, and it is part of the Arrows block in the Unicode standard. This character is often used in technical documentation, diagrams, and user interfaces to indicate a movement, transition, or directional flow that is incomplete, tentative, or interrupted, distinguishing it from a solid arrow which typically denotes a firm or direct path. Its design varies by font but consistently retains the dashed stroke, making it a useful tool for representing concepts like incomplete tasks, potential actions, or non-linear progress in both digital and print contexts.
