Arrow Symbols Copy and Paste

Arrows point people where to look. Copy a simple arrow, a curly one or a ready-made “link in bio” prompt and paste it where you need it.

Straight arrows

Plain arrows in all directions. They are the safest choice because most fonts include them.

Arrows are the workhorse of a profile. They tell people to tap the link, read the next line or look below. Unicode has hundreds of them, from thin straight arrows to curved ones and the chunky dingbat arrows used in old printing. This page picks the ones that look good at small sizes and groups them by what they do.

The first sections are single arrows, sorted by shape. After that come arrows combined with hearts, stars and flowers, then short prompts you can paste into a bio, such as pointing at a link or at the next line. The prompts are written for this page and are only suggestions.

Arrows are drawn differently by each font, so the line weight and the size of the head vary. A set that looks neat on your computer may look heavier on a phone. If it matters, check the arrow in the app you will actually post in.

Curved and looping arrows

Arrows that turn, return or circle. Good for “back”, “repeat” or a playful feel.

Chunky and pointed arrows

Heavier arrows with solid heads. They are easy to see in small text.

Arrows with a cute touch

An arrow plus a small decoration. Useful as a bullet in a bio or a list of links.

Long and wavy arrows

Arrows with a tail. They look more like a drawn line and work as dividers that also point.

Ready-made prompts

Short prompts for the link in your bio. They are plain suggestions written for this page, so edit the words to fit your own profile.

How to use arrow symbols

  1. Tap an arrow to copy it. The tray at the bottom lets you combine an arrow and a word before you copy the whole line.
  2. Paste it at the start of a link line in your bio, or between two ideas in a caption. A single arrow is almost always enough.
  3. For vertical arrows, check that your app does not stretch the line height. Some apps add extra spacing around tall characters.
  4. Pick the arrow style that matches the rest of the profile: thin arrows for a light look, chunky arrows for a bold look.
  5. If an arrow looks different from the one you copied, your device is using a different font. Try another arrow from the same group.

Questions people ask

Which arrows are the safest to use?

The plain arrows such as → and ← are included in nearly every system font, so they are the least likely to appear as empty boxes. The decorated dingbat arrows are common too, but check them in your app.

Do arrows work in link text?

They can sit next to a link, but whether they stay clickable depends on the app. Put the arrow next to the link rather than inside the URL.

Why does my arrow turn into an emoji?

Some arrows such as ➡ and ⬅ can be shown as emoji by phones. If you want plain text, pick a thin arrow like → or ⟶, which phones normally leave as text.

Can I use arrows in a username?

Usernames on most services accept only letters, numbers and a few punctuation marks. Use the arrow in the display name or bio instead.
