History & usage: DOWNWARDS TRIANGLE ARROWHEAD depicts a directional cue. It communicates a move downward in an interface. It also indicates navigation to the next item or content below, or to decrease a value in a control. In practice, designers place it beside a list, next to a button, or on a stepper to imply moving down. It can mark a continuation point in a document or a sequence that proceeds lower on the page. Users expect a downward flow when they see it, and it helps keyboard and touch navigation stay intuitive. Cross‑platform appearance remains consistent enough for recognition, and assistive tech can announce it as a directional cue for navigation.
