History & usage: RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH DOTTED STEM has the code point U+2911. It is a symbol in the Supplemental Arrows-B block and uses the Common script. This character is a type of arrow used to show direction. In design and documents, arrows help readers move through steps or pages. The dotted stem style can set it apart from solid arrows, adding a subtle cue in lists or icons. The character can appear beside labels to indicate forward movement, progress, or continuation. In many interfaces, such arrows guide users toward the next item or section. The combination of the name, code point, and placement in the character set helps designers pick consistent symbols across texts and apps. When people see this symbol, they may interpret it as a clear, forward signal. Its use aligns with general arrow conventions for navigation and direction. As a Common script symbol, it transcends language and can appear in multilingual content where forward movement is shown.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2911 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.
