Hello my favorite Admins/moderators

We can do arrow to the right by doing 2 angle brackets to the right > > = ➤ , but we cannot do it the other side <<

You can use you favorite Unicode character selector to input all kinds of characters directly: ➡➢➣➤➽◅ and the fun part is that there is no left-pointing equivalent to ➤ (U+27A4 BLACK RIGHTWARDS ARROWHEAD) in Unicode ?

The problem with unicode is it will depend on installed fonts.  This is what I see.

   

For linux there is Alt-Grey+y/u/i ←↓→(and I have no idea if you can see that either)

I did not know there were no arrow to the right
I don't have favorite unicode, and it's cumbersome to use them, and rich2005 is right, when I was on *buntu I did delete a tonne of fonts and some time I got squares like rich2005
Anyway I was just speaking about the convenience in this forum to make those arrows, I thought the one to the right was an oversight

But I might have found one https://unicode-explorer.com/c/2B9C ⮜ (does it work for everyone?)

It does for me.

Just  bad luck, this character (U+23F4 BLACK MEDIUM LEFT-POINTING TRIANGLE) isn't in my fonts either while this one (U+25C0 BLACK LEFT-POINTING TRIANGLE) is: ◀◀◀◀◀◀◀◀◀◀◀◀◀◀

Hey guys, don't even pay attention to this post of mine. I just wanted to check it out of curiosity.

I actually want to see how the codes I posted will appear on the forum after my post.

I got some "??" just to tell you
I'm on a brand new MX Linux 23.4 (from ~3 weeks ago) with giga-tonnes of fonts, I did not remove any of them (and I will not )

To whom it may concern...
Depending on the device I use to read my previous post (tablet, laptop, pc (maybe browser?), the arrows (unicodes) look different.

PixLab,
I also got those "??" you mentioned. But when I typed them they appeared ok, but in the forum, for some reason they were displayed like this (question mark)
