Arrow Symbols — Copy and Paste
Arrows do one job better than any other symbol: they tell a reader where to look. This set covers the plain directional arrows, the heavier pointer styles that survive at small sizes, and the decorative arrows people use in bio dividers.

Arrow symbols
The four basic arrows → ← ↑ ↓ are among the most portable characters in Unicode — every platform and device handles them. The dingbat arrows like ➜ and ➳ are heavier and read better against busy backgrounds. In a bio, a single arrow pointing at your link ('↓ shop here ↓') outperforms decorative use because it is doing real work, and all of these count as one character each.
Where people use it
- Pointing bio readers to a link or pinned post
- Showing a before/after or old → new change
- Building dividers like ⟶⟶⟶ between sections
- Indicating replies or threads in comments
Frequently asked questions
- Do arrows work in Instagram and TikTok bios?
- Yes. The basic four and the heavy arrows all display and are accepted in bio fields.
- Which arrow is best for 'link below'?
- ↓ or the heavier ⬇-style pointers. Pairing two of them ('↓ link ↓') reads clearly at a glance.
- Can I use arrows in a Discord channel name?
- Channel names accept most arrows; the plain directional ones are the safest choice there.
