History & usage: MODIFIER LETTER LOW RIGHT ARROWHEAD is a spacing modifier letter in the Common script. It lives in the Spacing Modifier Letters block. The symbol is drawn as a small arrowhead with a low stem to its left. In text, it functions as a diacritic-like mark rather than a full letter. The Unicode name helps identify its role and placement in encoding lists. Historically, spacing modifier letters support phonetic and transcription work. They are used to modify sounds without breaking the flow of words. In practice, fonts render the symbol as a separate, movable character. The usage intent is clear in contexts where precision is needed. Arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents. This usage helps readers infer movement or order at a glance. When editors and typists include this symbol, they do so to convey a subtle directional cue. The character remains a niche tool for specialists. It is part of a broader set of symbols that extend the ASCII-like set to cover more functions in writing systems. The design supports legibility while staying distinct from regular letters and punctuation.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2F2 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.
