Combining several labels or steps? Join your text with a symbol separator.
Single arrows and double arrows
The right arrow → is U+2192, while the double arrow ⇒ is U+21D2. They are separate characters, not two styles applied to the same text. A simple arrow works well between workflow steps; a double arrow can indicate implication in mathematical writing. Pick the symbol that matches your meaning.
Use arrows alongside clear words
An arrow can connect short labels such as Plan → Build → Review. Keep the labels meaningful so a reader does not have to infer every step from the direction alone. For a website button or link, give the control an accessible name that describes its action.
What changes after pasting?
The copy button supplies a Unicode character with no added spaces or formatting. Your destination controls its font, weight, and spacing. An arrow in plain text does not create a clickable link or a working navigation control.
Frequently asked questions
How do I copy a right arrow?
Press the Right arrow button to copy →, then paste into your destination. Its Unicode value is U+2192 and its numeric HTML reference is →.
Is → the same as ->?
No. → is one Unicode character. The keyboard sequence -> contains a hyphen-minus and a greater-than sign. Use the exact sequence required by your programming language or file format.
Can I paste these arrows into a phone message?
Yes, when the app supports the character. Tap an arrow, switch to your message, and use Paste. Review the appearance because the destination font controls how it looks.
