History & usage: The MODIFIER LETTER UP ARROWHEAD (U+2C4) is a symbol in the Spacing Modifier Letters block of the Common script. This character appears as a small up-pointing arrowhead used as a modifier in various texts. It sits in a set of marks that accompany letters or other symbols to alter their meaning or function. The block name and script indicate its typographic role rather than a standalone letter in words. The presence of arrows in writing and typography helps readers interpret relationships and instructions. Arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents. In practical use, such markers inform readers about the flow of information, examples, or steps, guiding movement through content. The up arrowhead variant can signal upward movement, emphasis, or a change of level in phonetic or linguistic notation, depending on the surrounding context. While specific usage can vary by field, the general idea stays consistent: arrows point to a direction or a connection that readers should follow. This helps users scan, compare, and understand the material more efficiently in digital or printed form.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2C4 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.
