Black Medium Up-pointing Triangle Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Black Medium Up-pointing Triangle because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+23F6, which you can use as ⏶ in HTML, \23F6 in CSS, or type with Alt+9206 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Black Medium Up-pointing Triangle is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+23F6 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Black Medium Up-pointing Triangle has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⏶ or the hex escape ⏶.
