U+25B9 White Right-Pointing Small Triangle

U+25B9 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+25A0 to U+25FF Geometric Shapes in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Other Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.

The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+25B9 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.

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