U+25BA Black Right-Pointing Pointer

U+25BA 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+25BA forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.

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

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

Geometric Shapes is a Unicode block of 96 symbols at code point range U+25A0–25FF.
