HEAVY ROUND-TIPPED RIGHTWARDS ARROW

About this character

U+279C, also known as the heavy round-tipped rightwards arrow, is a bold, visually weighty directional symbol in the Dingbats block. Its thick stroke and rounded head distinguish it from standard arrows, making it ideal for emphasis in user interfaces, wayfinding graphics, and bulleted lists where a prominent forward cue is needed. Originating from Hermann Zapf’s Zapf Dingbats typeface, it carries that design tradition into digital text. In programming documentation, it often marks progression or output steps; in writing, it serves as an ornamental pointer, anchoring margins or indicating flow. Its heavy form ensures visibility at small sizes, lending clarity to instructional and navigational contexts.
