History & usage: The character depicts the RIGHTWARDS BACK-TILTED SHADOWED WHITE ARROW. In interfaces, it marks a Next or forward action and guides the user to move to the right. In documents, it can indicate a continuation or a shifted step that follows a prior item. In menus or navigation bars, it signals a backward tilt that invites continuing the flow to the right or to the next item on a sequence.
