History & usage: The character LONG RIGHTWARDS SQUIGGLE ARROW (U+27FF) belongs to the Supplemental Arrows-A block. In usage, arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents. This symbol can point to the next step, a result, or a path through a flow. It often appears in diagrams and flowcharts to show movement or progression along a curve. In user interfaces, such arrows guide users to continue, expand details, or move to related content. The squiggly shape helps distinguish it from straight arrows and shows a dynamic path rather than a fixed line. Designers choose it to suggest route changes, looping actions, or non-linear motion. In documentation, it marks transitions between sections or states. The reference name and code point help ensure consistent rendering across fonts and platforms. Because it is a Unicode symbol, it can be included in text, labels, or diagrams where a curved, progressive cue is useful. Overall, the symbol communicates forward motion with a distinct visual style while remaining practical for technical writing and UI design.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+27FF 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.
