History & usage: The character U+2B6D, named DOWNWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED DASHED ARROW, belongs to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block in the Common script. It appears as a downward arrow with a triangle head and a dashed line. In history, arrow symbols have long been used to show direction and flow. In modern documents and interfaces, arrows like this one indicate movement, progress, and navigation cues. They help users move to the next item or page and to signal scrolling direction. The symbol can serve as a pointer in diagrams and charts, guiding the reader along a path. Arrows also provide visual cues in lists and forms, where they can imply status or priority changes. Punctuation marks structure text and convey tone; usage conventions differ by style and locale. This means the exact meaning of an arrow could vary by document, design system, or language rules. As a result, designers choose symbols that fit their context and ensure clarity for readers. When used consistently, the symbol supports quick understanding and smooth navigation while remaining a neutral indicator of direction.
