UnicodeArrows.org is a free collection of all Unicode arrows. Click any arrow to copy it straight to your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere.
Browse the arrows in the grid above, or use the search bar to narrow them down.
The Settings button in the top-right corner controls which details appear under each arrow. You can show any combination of:
U+21E2)The first three are the same number in different bases, so any of them identifies the character exactly. The decimal value is the one programmers reach for most often, and for the first 128 characters it is also the ASCII code.
The other three each have a job. The U+ reference lets you type a character by hand in most operating
systems and text editors. The HTML code (↠ for “↠”) is what you drop
into a web page when you cannot paste the symbol straight into your source. And the official name is often the
quickest way to search for a character you can picture but cannot name precisely.
The Settings also allows you to edit other display options.
The search bar accepts more than names. You can look up an arrow by name or description, by Unicode code point, by HTML code, or by numeric value and value ranges.
To search with a value range, simply type something like 10140-10145
and you will get every arrow
between those two decimal values. To use a different base, name it first: hex:279C-27A1 lists every Unicode arrow from
279C to 27A1.
ASCII’s 128 slots are enough for unaccented English and little else. Unicode was created to cover everything else: it now defines more than 150,000 characters spanning nearly every writing system in use, plus mathematical and technical symbols, punctuation, and emoji.
Each character has a unique code point, written as U+ followed by a hexadecimal number -
U+2BB7 for “⮷”, for instance. You can search with that notation too, so U+2BB7 takes you straight to it.
If you want only the ASCII arrows, you will find them on my other free website, AsciiArrows.org. And if you are after all the Unicode symbols rather than just the arrows, CharacterMap.org has you covered.
I made this website because I wanted a simple way to find all Unicode arrows, either by searching for them or just by browsing.
You are probably not greatly interested about who I am, but in case you are, you can always have a look at GreatSoftwareCompany.com - that’s the website of my great company. See what I did there? I like great software and I like puns.
And while I am on the subject of shameless self-promotion: this is 100% free software. No ads, no tracking, no forced accounts, no upsells, none of that nonsense.
If you think that’s worth something, take a look at my Support Us page. It lists plenty of ways to help me keep this website running, and most of the ways to support me won’t cost you anything. Thank you! You are awesome!
