White Right-pointing Triangle Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for White Right-pointing Triangle because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+25B7, which you can use as ▷ in HTML, \25B7 in CSS, or type with Alt+9655 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. White Right-pointing Triangle is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+25B7 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. White Right-pointing Triangle has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ▷ or the hex escape ▷.
