Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+21FE "⇾" Rightwards Open-Headed Arrow is a typographic symbol representing a directional arrow that points to the right but has a V-shaped, unfilled or open arrowhead, distinguishing it from solid-headed arrows like U+2192. This character is part of the Arrows block used in mathematical notation, logic, and diagramming to indicate a mapping, function, or flow that is either not strictly conventional or that emphasizes an open or incomplete pathway. Its design conveys a sense of movement or transition while the open head can suggest a relaxed, non-terminal, or non-blocking direction. In computing, it serves as a distinct glyph for specialized text rendering in formal systems or user interfaces.
