Meaning & usage
Heavy round arrow (➜) indicates a direction, a transition or the next step in text.
Its orientation matters: choose a matching arrow for navigation hints, comparisons or a sequence of steps.
The heavy round arrow points toward a curved or specialized direction; U+279C distinguishes it from other arrows that can look similar at small sizes.
heavy round arrow occupies one Unicode code point. A similar-looking letter, punctuation mark or emoji is not necessarily interchangeable with ➜ in search, filenames or text processing.
