Meaning & usage
Heavy triangle 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 triangle arrow points toward a curved or specialized direction; U+279E distinguishes it from other arrows that can look similar at small sizes.
heavy triangle 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.
