History & usage: The RIGHTWARDS ARROW THROUGH GREATER-THAN symbol is U+2B43 in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block. It appears as a rightward arrow with a diagonal greater-than mark.

It can signal navigation cues in interfaces, guides, and documents. It tells users to move forward while indicating a comparison or relation. In math and UI design, the arrow can denote an operation or a relation that combines direction with a condition. This makes it useful in formulas, data displays, and workflow diagrams where a step leads to a later stage. People may see it in diagrams, schematics, or forms that require a clear sense of order. The symbol works across writing and visual layouts, providing a compact cue without extra words. Its simple form makes it easy to recognize at small sizes. Overall, it supports clear communication about direction, order, and progression in both math and interfaces.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2B43 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.
