History & usage: HEAVY UPWARDS ARROW WITH LARGE EQUILATERAL ARROWHEAD depicts the official name of the character. It signals an upward direction or ascent in a clear, strong way. In interfaces, it can mark actions like scroll up, move to a higher level, or reveal more content above. In diagrams and lists, it helps indicate rising values, steps that go up, or progress toward a peak. In documents, it can highlight upward trends or navigation cues for readers. Crossāplatform, it should render with sufficient size and contrast, and provide accessible text alternatives for screen readers. Use it sparingly where a bold upward cue is needed, and ensure it remains legible against varying backgrounds across devices and assistive technologies.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F81D
in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the pageās font stack includes a generalāpurpose fallback.
