Rightwards Open-headed Arrow Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Rightwards Open-headed Arrow because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+21FE, which you can use as ⇾ in HTML, \21FE in CSS, or type with Alt+8702 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Rightwards Open-headed Arrow is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+21FE is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Rightwards Open-headed Arrow has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⇾ or the hex escape ⇾.
