Documentation and README: → for listing steps. Emoji in the text: ↑ = increase, ↓ = decrease in reports. Presentations: ⇒ to indicate dependencies. Programming: ← assignment (Haskell, APL), → lambda/functions. UI design: ⬅ navigation buttons. Math: ⊂ ⊃ ∈ ∉ in forms. Pseudocode: ← x := 5.
Arrows in HTML and CSS
HTML entity: ← (←), → (→), ↑ (↑), ↓ (↓), ↔ (↔), ⇒ (⇒), ⇐ (⇐). Unicode code point: ← (←), → (→). CSS content: content: "\2192" (→). Best: copy the Unicode character directly - works in UTF-8 HTML without entities.

Do Unicode arrows work in every browser?
Yes - UTF-8 has been the web standard since 2008. All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) render Unicode characters from basic blocks. Arrows with Arrows (U+2190+) are supported by all system fonts. Older arrow emoji (U+1F800+) may require emoji font.
How to insert Unicode arrows in Word and Excel?
Insert > Symbol > any font. Or: enter the hex code, then Alt+X (e.g. 2192 Alt+X = →). Windows system shortcut: Win+. (emoji picker, Symbols tab). Mac: Ctrl+Cmd+Space (Character Viewer). Linux: Ctrl+Shift+U + hex code (in GTK apps).
What are the directional arrows on a keyboard?
The keyboard has cursor arrows: ←↑→↓ (ASCII codes 37-40). These are separate characters from Unicode ← (U+2190) - they look similar but are different. For text and documents: use Unicode. To control the cursor in the terminal: keyboard.
