Arrow Symbol

Three clauses, one Unicode block each

The selection rule has three clauses, and meeting any one of them puts a character here:

• the block Arrows, whole, which brings 112
• in the block Dingbats, a name with the word ARROW, ARROWS or ARROWHEAD, which brings 39
• in the block Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows, a name with the word ARROW or ARROWS on a character that has the Emoji property, which brings 3

The first clause asks nothing of the name, so it takes in ten characters named HARPOON and not ARROW. Each clause is tied to a block. An arrow in any other block is not selected, and this page does not claim to hold each arrow Unicode has.

LEFTWARDS, RIGHTWARDS, UPWARDS, DOWNWARDS and four more name words

Eight words of the names make the groups: the four in the heading, then DOUBLE, HARPOON or HARPOONS, WHITE and DASHED. One name can carry several of them. U+21B0 UPWARDS ARROW WITH TIP LEFTWARDS has two, and 59 of the arrows fall under more than one group. Another 25 fall under none because their names use other words, as U+2196 NORTH WEST ARROW does.

Arrow copy and paste by block: 112, 39 and 3 rows

The table keeps the three blocks apart, a section for each, in code point order within it. The first section opens with U+2190 LEFTWARDS ARROW. The last has only the three rows of the third clause.

Twelve arrows with the Emoji property, none with Emoji_Presentation

Unicode gives the Emoji property to twelve of the 154 and Emoji_Presentation to none of them, so all twelve are text presentation by default. Eight of them come in by the rule's first clause and one by its second. The other three are the whole of the third clause, which asks for the property.

neral-category

The Math property on 81 of the 154 arrows

By general category 127 of these characters are Other_Symbol and 27 are Math_Symbol. The Math property reaches further than the category: 81 have it, the 27 and 54 of the others, and all 81 are among the 112 of the first clause.
