Black Up-pointing Triangle Alt Code and Symbol

The Alt code for Black Up-pointing Triangle is 30. Hold Alt, type 30 on the numeric keypad, then release Alt. Black Up-pointing Triangle also has the Unicode codepoint U+25B2, so you can type it with Alt+9650 on Windows, search for U+25B2 in macOS's Character Viewer, use ▲ in HTML, or \25B2 in CSS. If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly — the Alt key method requires a physical numpad. The code comes from the OEM console picture table, so the ▲ picture appears only when an OEM raster font is active; in a modern application using a TrueType font the same keystroke may insert nothing visible or a control character. Black Up-pointing Triangle has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ▲ or the hex escape ▲.
