Supplemental Arrows-C

• Use Supplemental Arrows-C for fine-grained directional indicators in UI elements like menus, tooltips, and pagination controls.
• Verify font and rendering consistency across platforms; glyphs may appear differently in various fonts.
• Test accessibility by ensuring sufficient contrast and adding descriptive aria-labels for icons that use these arrows.
• Favor scalable vector rendering when possible to preserve sharpness at multiple sizes.
• Consider pairing these glyphs with clear text or tooltips to avoid misinterpretation of direction or action.

Supplemental Arrows-C provides a range of arrow shapes that extend foundational arrow sets. They are commonly used for compact navigation and state indicators where standard arrows don’t fit well. As a block in a larger icon system, these glyphs should harmonize with neighboring icon styles and line weights.

Careful usage helps prevent confusion. Pitfalls include overloading interfaces with too many directional marks or choosing glyphs that look similar in low-resolution contexts. Historically, iconography in this category evolved to support dense interfaces and internationalized UI, balancing visual distinctness with compact form. When designing, consider how these shapes relate to other blocks such as Geometric Shapes, Arrows, Currency Symbols, and Box Drawing to maintain a cohesive system.
