RIGHTWARDS ARROW

About this character

U+2192, the rightwards arrow, is the standard glyph for pointing right in digital text. Rooted in mathematical notation for mapping and implication, it evolved into a universal symbol for direction, progression, and selection. In programming, it denotes lambda expressions and return types; in interfaces and wayfinding, it guides users through flows and indicates clickable actions. Typographically, it serves as a directional marker in documentation and lists, while in writing it signals consequence or sequence. This versatile character bridges technical logic and intuitive visual communication, remaining one of the most widely recognized symbols across languages and contexts.
