Wedge-tailed Rightwards Arrow Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Wedge-tailed Rightwards Arrow because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+27BC, which you can use as ➼ in HTML, \27BC in CSS, or type with Alt+10172 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Wedge-tailed Rightwards Arrow is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+27BC is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Wedge-tailed Rightwards Arrow has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ➼ or the hex escape ➼.
