U+2193. Alt+25 on a number pad, ↓ in HTML, \downarrow in LaTeX maths and \textdownarrow in text. It has no Option key on the U.S. layout. Compose | v.
U+2191. Alt+24 on a number pad, ↑ in HTML, \uparrow in LaTeX maths. No Option key on the U.S. layout. Compose | ^.
U+2192. Alt+26 on a number pad, → in HTML, \rightarrow or \to in LaTeX maths. The reaction arrow of chemistry, and the implication arrow logic has used since 1922. Compose - >.
U+2190. Alt+27 on a number pad, ← in HTML, \leftarrow in LaTeX maths. One of the two left arrows kept on this page; the rest have a page of their own.
U+2194. Alt+29 on a number pad, ↔ in HTML, \leftrightarrow in LaTeX maths. As a sign of logical equivalence it dates from 1933. It has the Emoji property, so an app may draw it as a colour button: the text style row asks for the plain one.
U+2195. Alt+18 on a number pad, ↕ in HTML, \updownarrow in LaTeX maths. It has the Emoji property too.
U+2198. Down and to the right. Unicode names the four diagonals by compass point. ↘ in HTML, \searrow in LaTeX maths. No Alt code.
U+27F6. One character, about twice the length of →. ⟶ in HTML, \longrightarrow in LaTeX maths. Added in Unicode 3.2 (2002).
U+21E3. A down arrow with a broken shaft. It has no Alt code, no named HTML entity and no LaTeX macro in the sources used here, so copy it.
U+25BC. The solid triangle that marks a drop-down list. Alt+31 on a number pad, a leftover of the PC graphics set. Unicode files it under Geometric Shapes, not Arrows.
U+21D2. HTML names it ⇒ and also ⇒. \Rightarrow in LaTeX maths. No Alt code. Compose = >.
U+279C. A bold arrow from the Dingbats block. Of the 39 arrows and arrowheads in that block, 33 point right and 6 along a diagonal. None points straight up, down or left.

How it works

The down arrow is ↓, Downwards arrow, U+2193, and Alt+25 types it on a number pad. The 140 arrows here point up, down, left, right, along the diagonals and both ways, in long, double, dashed, bent and heavy styles, with drop-down triangles.

Read the full guide

Two-way, diagonal, long and broken arrows

Two-way holds ↔ for left and right, ↕ for up and down, and pairs such as ⇄ and ⇅. Diagonal has ↘, down and to the right, which Unicode names South east arrow. Long has ⟶, one character about twice the length of →. The broken arrows ⇣, ⇢ and ⇡ are dashed ones. For a drop-down mark take a triangle: ▼, the smaller ▾ or the open chevron ⌄.

Ten arrows have an Alt code

With Num Lock on, hold Alt and type on the number pad: 24 ↑, 25 ↓, 26 →, 27 ←, 29 ↔, 18 ↕, 23 ↨, 30 ▲, 31 ▼, 16 ►. No diagonal, double or long arrow has one.

Tips
  • Only ⇢ of the dashed arrows has a LaTeX macro, \dashrightarrow, which needs amssymb.
  • ▼ is Alt+31 and ▾ is ▾ in HTML. Unicode files both under Geometric Shapes, not Arrows.

Questions and answers

How do I type an arrow in Microsoft Word, in Excel or on a Mac?

In Word, type 2193 then Alt+X for ↓, or 2191 for ↑. In Excel, =UNICHAR(8595) returns ↓: the function takes the code point as a decimal number. A Mac's U.S. layout has no arrow on an Option key, so press Fn/Globe-E and search for arrow.

What is the HTML code for a down arrow?

↓ is ↓, ↑ is ↑, → is →, ← is ←, ↔ is ↔ and ↕ is ↕. HTML names 58 of the 140 rows, and LaTeX has a macro for 44, such as \downarrow and \longrightarrow.

Is there a green arrow symbol?

No. Unicode has no green arrow. A plain arrow such as ↑ takes the colour of the text around it, so colour the text green. An emoji arrow such as ⬆️ gets its colours from the font, and the text colour does nothing to it.

Why does an arrow paste as a colour button?

Some arrows here, among them ⬇, ↔ and ↘, have Unicode's Emoji property, so an app may draw them as buttons. ⬇, ↔ and ↕ each have a text style row that adds U+FE0E, the request for the plain drawing.
