What it is and where it’s used: Wide-Headed North East Light Barb Arrow 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 WIDE-HEADED NORTH EAST LIGHT BARB ARROW depicts a directional arrow with a wide head that points northeast. In interfaces, it can indicate the next step or a forward path for user actions. In documents, it helps guide readers toward a section or a callout box located in the northeast direction on a diagram. It can also serve as a visual cue for navigation in maps or dashboards, showing where to go next. Use it to signal movement, decisions, or pointers without clutter. For accessibility, pair the icon with clear alt text and ensure color contrast for users with visual differences. The symbol should appear consistently across platforms and assistive technologies for a unified, easy-to-understand experience.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F865 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.
