History & usage: The character RIGHTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW-TAIL has code point U+291C and belongs to the Supplemental Arrows-B block. It is part of the Common script, so it appears across many platforms and fonts. In history, arrows have long been used to show direction. This symbol specifically marks a strong rightward movement with a tail, separating it from simple arrows. In modern text and interfaces, it helps indicate next steps, flow, or a pointer in diagrams. It is used in documents and software to cue users to proceed to the right or to a subsequent item. Designers may place it in menus, guides, or flow charts to clarify navigation. The symbol works with other arrows to create composite directions. Because it is in Unicode, it can be encoded and displayed consistently in many systems. It is not tied to a single app, but to a broad range of languages that share the Common script. As with other arrows, legibility depends on size and contrast. When used well, it improves clarity without extra words.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+291C 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.
