Black Down-pointing Double Triangle Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Black Down-pointing Double Triangle because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+23EC, which you can use as ⏬ in HTML, \23EC in CSS, or type with Alt+9196 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly.
