Supplemental Arrows-A
All code points in the Supplemental Arrows-A block.
Tips
- Use clear icons and consistent sizing for arrows in this block to maintain visual harmony.
- Align arrow shapes to your typography grid and baseline to ensure legibility across scales.
- Prefer semantic representations from the block for accessibility and screen readers.
- Provide fallback glyphs or text alternatives when environments don’t support the symbols.
- Test color contrast and interaction states (hover, focus, active) for arrows used in interactive UI.
Supplemental Arrows-A covers a set of arrow glyphs that augment standard symbols. In typical design work, these arrows serve as directional cues, connectors in diagrams, or notation in instructional content. They are often used alongside other symbol blocks to convey flow and motion without adding decoration.
Common pitfalls include inconsistent stroke widths, misalignment with adjacent icons, and relying on color alone to convey meaning. A high-level history of this symbol family shows a move toward modular, scalable glyphs designed for accessibility and multilingual contexts.
