Downwards Triangle-Headed Arrow with Medium Shaft 🠧
🠧 (U+1F827) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Downwards Triangle-Headed Arrow with Medium Shaft is part of the Symbols family (block: Supplemental Arrows-C). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: The character depicts DOWNWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED ARROW WITH MEDIUM SHAFT. Arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents. Use it in UI to signal moving to a lower item or next step, in manuals to show scroll or collapse sections, and in forms to point to fields below. It can appear beside a button to guide the user downward, or in a help panel to indicate where to continue. In reports it may mark a decline or follow-up section below. The symbol should be rendered clearly on light and dark backgrounds. Cross-platform rendering should remain legible, and accessibility tools should announce the arrow and its direction to users of assistive tech.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F827 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
