History & usage: UPWARDS ARROW AND RIGHT ONE EIGHTH BLOCK depicts the symbol with its official name. It can be used to indicate direction in user interfaces and flow charts. It also serves to show a partial or fractional step in a sequence or process. In documentation, it helps readers mark an upward move combined with a small rightward offset. In diagrams, place it to suggest navigation or a multi-step path where one step is emphasized but not fully completed. It can guide users through forms, menus, or progress indicators with a subtle cue. For accessibility, ensure high contrast and provide alternative text for screen readers. On different platforms, render the glyph consistently and test with assistive tech to keep meaning clear and visible across devices.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1FBB8
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.
