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+27A1 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.
The CLDR project calls this character “right arrow” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: arrow, cardinal, direction, east, right.
This character is designated as an emoji. It will be rendered as monochrome character on conforming platforms. To enable colorful emoji display, you can combine it with Variation Selector-16: ➡️ See the Emojipedia for more details on this character’s emoji properties.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
An arrow is a graphical symbol, such as ← or →, or a pictogram, used to point or indicate direction. In its simplest form, an arrow is a triangle, chevron, or concave kite, usually
affixed to a line segment or rectangle, and in more complex forms a representation of an actual arrow (e.g. ➵ U+27B5). The direction indicated by an arrow is the one along the length of the line or rectangle toward the single pointed end.
