U+2192 RIGHTWARDS ARROW: → – Unicode

U+2192 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+2190 to U+21FF Arrows in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Math Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as z notation total function.

The glyph is not a composition. Its width in East Asian texts is determined by its context. It can be displayed wide or narrow. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. If its East Asian Width is “narrow”, U+2192 forms a word with similar characters, which prevents a line break inside it. Otherwise it allows line breaks around it, except in some numeric contexts. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.

The CLDR project calls this character “right-pointing arrow” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: arrow, right.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

→ or -> may refer to:

one of the arrow symbols, characters of Unicode

one of the arrow keys, on a keyboard

→, >, representing the assignment operator in various programming languages

->, a pointer operator in C and C++ where a->b is synonymous with (*a).b (except when either -> or * has been overridden in C++).

→, goto in the APL programming language

→, representing the direction of a chemical reaction in a chemical equation

→, representing the set of all mathematical functions that map from one set to another in set theory

→, representing a material implication in logic

→, representing morphism in category theory

→, representing a vector in physics and mathematics

the relative direction of right or forward

→, a notation of Conway chained arrow notation for very large integers
