Upwards Arrow with Tip Rightwards ↱

The Upwards Arrow with Tip Rightwards character (↱) is a standard HTML entity defined in the HTML specification. In HTML source code, it can be written using the named entity reference ↱, the decimal numeric character reference ↱, or the hexadecimal numeric reference ↱. The character is assigned Unicode code point U+21B1 in the Universal Character Set.

The upwards arrow with tip rightwards goes up and then turns right. It is used in flowcharts, navigation, and diagrams to indicate a path that ascends then veers right. It provides specific directional information that a simple diagonal or straight arrow cannot convey.

Arrow entities serve as directional indicators in navigation interfaces, mathematical expressions, flowcharts, and textual content throughout the web. Because they render as scalable text characters rather than bitmap images, HTML arrow entities are resolution-independent, styleable with CSS properties like color and font-size, and fully accessible to assistive technologies including screen readers.

When deciding how to encode the Upwards Arrow with Tip Rightwards character in your HTML documents, the named entity ↱ is generally the most readable choice for developers reviewing or maintaining source code. The decimal form ↱ and hexadecimal form ↱ are equally valid alternatives that work in contexts where named entities may not be supported, or when generating HTML output programmatically from server-side code. All three representations produce identical visual output in every modern web browser.

Use this arrow in flowcharts, process diagrams, and navigation interfaces where the path goes upward then turns right. It complements ↰ for showing turning paths and is useful in technical documentation and instructional diagrams.
