Or other directions, sometimes get added as afterthought or extensions. Typically, the rightward versions have correctly designedįonts, because it is far more popularly used. It depends on your operating system, web browser, your browser and OS configuration, and availability of font on your system. How the chars shows up on your screen may be very different from another person. Unicode arrows inconsistent font problem, rendered on Note that some left/right pairs looks very different, even in the same font.įor example, here's how they render in your browser: Character (For example, there's no char named “TOP ARC CLOCKWISE ARROW”) But given these chars, how do you order them? Font Problems First of all, note that not all of them is present. 8 arcs, 2 directions, there are a combination of 16 possibilities. Each arc can be clockwise or anti-clockwise. There are 2 of them, and 4 of the diagonal arcs.

The names are inconsistent.įinally, in Unicode 7, a new one with consistent name is added. You can see that, this right pointing arrow was there first. However, there was no “RIGHTWARDS BLACK ARROW” for about 10 years. For similar reasons, other symmetric versions of the same style such as upward and or downward versions are scattered in wildly different blocks.įor example, here's some arrows and their names: Codepoint Thus you have “Supplemental Arrows-A” and “Supplemental Arrows-B”. So, the left pointing ones get added, in the same block but different neighborhood, or in another block. But later, it's realized the left pointing ones are important too, for one reason or another, and sometimes there's a need just for completeness because Unicode became more wide spread. In the beginning of Unicode history, there's just a right pointing arrow of a particular style, because left pointing ones are seldomly or never used. The most common ones are collected in “Symbols, Arrows (2190–21FF)”.
#EQUILIBRIUM ARROW ON MAC CODE#
They are scattered in different code blocks. For example, → has codepoint 8594 or hexadecimal 2192. Note: each Unicode character has a ID called its “codepoint”. Also, there are a lot symmetry issues, and some mirror image isn't there.

They are scattered in different places, and are hard to find. It took me several days to collect and organize these arrows. These are from several different sections of Unicode, including: Then release the key, you will see the right arrow is successfully inserted.Here is a screenshot showing what they look like in my browser. Arrowįor example, if you want to insert a right arrow ↓ in Word document, you just need to hold key and enter 8594 on numeric keypad. Here I collect a list of arrow code (all in Unicode 11), you can find the arrow you want and use its corresponding code. Then release the key and the arrow will show in your document.ģ. Press and hold key while tapping corresponding numeric code. First you should make sure that your numeric keypad is enabled, otherwise, tap to turn on it.Ģ. Insert Arrow by CodeĪlternatively, you can also insert different arrows in Word only by keyboard.ġ. Select the one you want and hit Insert button to add it to your document. Change the Font into Wingdings in the popping out Symbol window, scroll down till the end and you’ll find many different arrow symbols here. Go to Insert tab, click Symbol button on the right of the ribbon and choose More Symbols… in the menu.Ģ. Open the Word document (or Excel file).Ģ. You can also change its color or effect in Format ( Drawing Tools) tab. Hold your mouse to draw a shape you selected, and drag its frame to adjust the size and direction of the arrow.Ĥ. There are many different types of arrows with different directions, you can choose any one you like.ģ. Switch to Insert tab, click Shape button to expand the drop-down menu.Ģ. Command-Z: Undo the previous command. Command-V: Paste the contents of the Clipboard into the current document or app.This also works for files in the Finder. Command-C: Copy the selected item to the Clipboard.This also works for files in the Finder. The method 1 and method 2 can also be applied in Microsoft Excel. Command-X: Cut the selected item and copy it to the Clipboard. Since they can’t be typed directly like numbers and characters, here I’d like to introduce 3 common used ways to insert arrows in Word. When editing documents in Word, sometimes we can insert some graphic symbols to make the content more intuitive and lively, like arrows with different shapes and directions.
