History & usage: The DOWNWARDS ARROW WITH NOTCHED TAIL depicts a directional arrow that points down and includes a notch in its tail to add emphasis. In user interfaces, it can indicate downward navigation, such as expanding a menu or revealing more content below. In diagrams or flow charts, it helps show steps that proceed downward or a progression to the next stage. In documents and guides, it can mark a recommended downward action or the next item to follow. The symbol can appear in different platforms with similar shape, but be sure to verify contrast and size for accessibility. When used with text alternatives, it supports screen readers and keyboard users across devices.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F89B 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.
