How to Type Arrow Symbols on Your Keyboard
Most Unicode arrows can’t be typed directly from a standard keyboard — copy-paste from this page is the fastest method. But for arrows you use dozens of times a day, these shortcuts are worth knowing.
⌨
Windows — Alt codes for basic arrows
Hold Alt and type on the numeric keypad: ← is Alt+27, → is Alt+26, ↑ is Alt+24, ↓ is Alt+25. For more arrows, use Win+. to open the emoji/symbol panel and search “arrow”.
⌨
Mac — Option key shortcuts
⌥ + Shift + ; gives → · ⌥ + Shift + , gives ← · ⌥ + Shift + L gives → (varies by layout). For all other arrows, press Control+⌘+Space to open Character Viewer and search “arrow”.
📱
iPhone & Android
Native keyboards don’t have dedicated arrow symbol keys. Bookmark this page for one-tap copy access, or set up text replacement shortcuts: “rarr” → → in iPhone Settings → General → Keyboard → Text Replacement.
FAQ
What is the right arrow symbol called? The basic right arrow → is called “Rightwards Arrow” (U+2192). The heavier ➜ is “Heavy South East Arrow” (U+279C). The double ⇒ is “Rightwards Double Arrow” (U+21D2), commonly used for logical implication.
What’s the difference between → and ⇒? → is a simple directional arrow — pointing to something or indicating movement. ⇒ is a double-lined arrow specifically used in maths and logic to mean “implies” or “therefore.” In casual use they’re interchangeable, but in formal writing the distinction matters.
Which arrow should I use in a social media bio? → is the most widely understood and renders consistently everywhere. ➜ and ➤ are good alternatives for more visual weight. For LinkedIn and professional contexts, → is cleanest. For Instagram and TikTok, any of these work well.
Do arrows work in Instagram bios and Twitter profiles? Yes — all Unicode arrows on this page work in Instagram bios, Twitter/X bios, TikTok bios, and virtually every other text field that supports Unicode (which is almost all of them). Copy and paste directly.
