History & usage: The UPWARDS HEAVY ARROW depicts direction upward. In interfaces it signals moving to a higher item or returning to a previous section. In documents it marks the next step or a transition to a higher level of content. The symbol helps users navigate menus, scroll regions, or expand hierarchies. It supports quick, visual cues in apps, websites, and help guides. Keep sentences short and direct so it works in plain text and icons alike. For accessibility, provide text alternatives and maintain sufficient contrast. On different platforms the character renders similarly, but check rendering in small sizes and high‑dpi screens. Ensure your design respects users who rely on screen readers by describing the arrow in context.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F845 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 page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
