How it works

The up arrow symbol is ↑, Upwards arrow, U+2191. Every row here is an arrow that points up or rises: double, heavy, dashed and barred arrows, harpoons, key marks such as ⇧, triangles, carets, pointing hands and emoji.

Read the full guide

An arrow for an increase

↗, ⬈ and ⤴ rise to the right, the way a growing line is drawn, and 📈 is the emoji named chart increasing. Unicode notes ⏶ as increase and prefers it to ▲ for that job.

Up arrows that are key marks

Unicode's names list gives ⇧ as shift, ⇪ as caps lock, ⇞ as page up and ↟ as fast cursor up. ⌃ is Up arrowhead, a character of its own. The caret ^ typed with Shift and 6 on most keyboards is Circumflex accent, U+005E.

In LaTeX, \uparrow and \Uparrow work in maths mode with no package. \upuparrows, \upharpoonleft and \upharpoonright need amssymb.
If an app turns ⬆ into a color button, copy Upwards black arrow, text style: the same arrow plus U+FE0E, which asks for plain text.

Questions and answers

How do I type an up arrow on a keyboard?

On Windows, with Num Lock on, hold Alt and type 24 on the number pad. With a Compose key, press Compose, then |, then ^. The U.S. Mac layout has no Option key for it; its Character Viewer (Fn or Globe with E) does.

What is the HTML code for an up arrow?

↑ is the shortest of its four named entities, and ↑ or ↑ is the numeric form. Case matters: &uArr; with a capital A is the double arrow ⇑, while &Uarr; with a capital U is the two-headed ↟.

Is the caret ^ an up arrow?

No. ^ is Circumflex accent, U+005E, a key of its own, used for powers in plain text. ⌃ is Up arrowhead, U+2303, and ˄ is a phonetic mark. Each is a character of its own, with its own code point.

Why does my up arrow show as an empty box?

The font on that device has no drawing for it. The plain ↑ has been in Unicode since version 1.1, in 1993. ⏶ and ⭡ date from 2014, so an older device may show a box for those two.

How this list was compiled: Names, and the code points they belong to, are checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and printed in sentence case. Notes that begin Unicode's note quote NamesList.txt of the same version (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt); the version a character was added in is from DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt), block names are from Blocks.txt, and the years are from https://www.unicode.org/history/publicationdates.html. Emoji facts: the Emoji property is from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt, text style and emoji style rows are sequences listed in https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt, and the emoji names are from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt. Alt codes are from the code page 437 table (https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/PC/CP437.TXT), the PC graphics table for codes 1 to 31 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MISC/IBMGRAPH.TXT) and the code page 1252 table (https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP1252.TXT). Option keys are those of the U.S. keyboard layout as CLDR records it (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/release-42/keyboards/osx/en-t-k0-osx.xml); other layouts differ. HTML entity names are from https://html.spec.whatwg.org/entities.json. LaTeX macros are listed only when LaTeX's own fontdef.dtx, ltoutenc.dtx or utf8ienc.dtx (https://github.com/latex3/latex2e/tree/develop/base) or the amssymb source (https://ctan.org/pkg/amsfonts) defines them, matched to a code point through unicode-math-table.tex (https://github.com/latex3/unicode-math). Compose sequences are from the X.org en_US.UTF-8 Compose file (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/blob/master/nls/en_US.UTF-8/Compose.pre). What is listed: characters whose arrowhead, point or finger faces up, the arrows that rise to the right, and the carets and maths signs that are mistaken for an up arrowhead, each labelled. Left out: two-way and opposing pairs, circular arrows, arrows whose tip ends left or right, combining arrows, APL and legacy computing characters, and the newer arrow blocks (Supplemental Arrows-C and most of the 2014 additions), which many devices have no font for.
