U+FFEB Halfwidth Rightwards Arrow

U+FFEB was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+FF00 to U+FFEF Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms 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 glyph is a narrow version of the glyph Rightwards Arrow. Accordingly, its width in East Asian Text is halfwidth. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+FFEB forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.

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
