68 Stored Arrows in Eight Categories
Browse 68 stored arrow characters, search their directions and code points, and copy a selected arrow as text. Eight collection categories group basic, double, bold, curved, circular, decorative, special and miscellaneous entries. These are browsing groups rather than an exhaustive Unicode taxonomy. The tool does not draw a diagram or decorate an arbitrary source phrase. It helps when you need to compare an upward arrow with one whose tip turns left, insert a known implication or harpoon character in technical notes (the picker does not validate a proof), try a text arrow in a slide caption, or tell similar glyphs apart by code point when copying goes wrong.
- Choose a category or keep all. Type a name, direction, literal arrow or U+ code point in Search arrows.
- Use the named Copy arrow button and inspect Selected arrow. Wait for confirmation, or select that value manually after a clipboard error.
- Random from results selects and attempts to copy one visible match. It can repeat and is disabled when no matches remain.
- Clear search preserves the category. Reset restores all categories, a blank search and empty selection. Filter changes clear selection and feedback.
What Search Matches and What Copy Keeps
Category and Search intersect. Outer search whitespace is ignored; every space-separated query word must match the combined label, category, original keyword aliases or code-point metadata. Metadata search ignores case; literal character search preserves the actual character. Stored IDs remain stable when results are filtered.
Copy retains the selected character, not an image asset. Labels help browse; only the specific identities below are presented as verified Unicode names. Some older keyword aliases remain for discovery and should not be read as formal character definitions.
| Category; Search | Copied character | Code point and identity |
|---|---|---|
| Basic; right | → | U+2192 RIGHTWARDS ARROW |
| Curved; tip leftwards | ↰ | U+21B0 UPWARDS ARROW WITH TIP LEFTWARDS |
| Circular; U+2940 | ⥀ | U+2940 ANTICLOCKWISE CLOSED CIRCLE ARROW |
| Circular; U+2941 | ⥁ | U+2941 CLOCKWISE CLOSED CIRCLE ARROW |
| Misc; U+2B31 | ⬱ | U+2B31 THREE LEFTWARDS ARROWS |
Similar Arrows, Different Meanings
The two closed-circle arrows have opposite directions; the three-leftwards-arrows character is not a white-outline arrow. Curved-tip arrows are not all wavy arrows. Do not infer a formal name from one font’s drawing or assume a missing search result means Unicode lacks the character.
Fonts and emoji presentation can change appearance, color and spacing. A successful clipboard write does not promise a valid account username, matching speech or acceptance in every field. For site navigation controls use an accessible icon or labeled control rather than treating pasted characters as a complete UI system.
Use a code point when a keyword gives several candidates, and inspect a short pasted draft before saving. Keep important meaning in ordinary words. The collection does not add presentation selectors or normalize copied characters.
