Complete Arrow Symbols List

Unicode contains hundreds of arrow symbols spanning simple directional arrows, double arrows, curved arrows, and specialized mathematical arrows. This complete reference lists every Unicode arrow character with its code point, name, and HTML entity so you can copy and use any arrow in your text or code.

·

Unicode contains hundreds of arrow symbols spread across six blocks. From the humble left-right arrow (↔) to elaborate triple-lined double-barbed arrows (⇛), the Unicode arrow repertoire covers technical diagrams, mathematics, keyboard shortcuts, decorative typography, and emoji. This guide organises every major arrow symbol by category with its code point, so you can find and copy the exact arrow you need.

How to Use This Guide

Each table shows the arrow character, its Unicode code point in U+XXXX format, the official Unicode name, and the HTML hex entity. You can copy the character directly from the "Arrow" column. In code, use the escape sequence appropriate for your language (see the Unicode Escape Sequences guide).

# Python — get any arrow by code point
chr(0x2192)   # '→'
chr(0x21D2)   # '⇒'
chr(0x27A1)   # '➡'

# HTML entity

Finding Arrows by Code Point in Python

import unicodedata

# Find all characters whose name contains "ARROW"
arrows = [
    (cp, chr(cp), unicodedata.name(chr(cp)))
    for cp in range(0x2190, 0x2200)
    if unicodedata.category(chr(cp)) != 'Cn'  # skip unassigned
]
for cp, char, name in arrows[:10]:
    print(f"U+{cp:04X}  {char}  {name}")

With hundreds of arrows available across Unicode, there is almost always a symbol that precisely matches your meaning — whether you are annotating code, building a diagram, writing a mathematical proof, or adding visual flair to a user interface.
