What characters can be used for up down triangle arrow without stem for display in HTML

Question

I m looking for a HTML or ASCII character which is a triangle pointing up or down so that I can use it as a toggle switch   I found  uarr    amp uarr    and  darr    amp darr   - but those have a narrow stem  I m looking just for the HTML arrow  head

Sorry but they are only in Unicode      Big ones    U 25B2  Black up-pointing triangle    U 25BC  Black down-pointing triangle    U 25C0  Black left-pointing triangle    U 25B6  Black right-pointing triangle      Big white ones    U 25B3  White up-pointing triangle    U 25BD  White down-pointing triangle    U 25C1  White left-pointing triangle    U 25B7  White right-pointing triangle      There is also some smalller triangles    U 25B4  Black up-pointing small triangle    U 25C2  Black left-pointing small triangle    U 25BE  Black down-pointing small triangle    U 25B8  Black right-pointing small triangle      Also some white ones    U 25C3  White left-pointing small triangle    U 25BF  White down-pointing small triangle    U 25B9  White right-pointing small triangle    U 25B5  White up-pointing small triangle      There are also some  pointy  triangles  You can read more here in Wikipedia http   en wikipedia org wiki Geometric Shapes  But unfortunately  they are all Unicode instead of ASCII  If you still want to use ASCII  then you can use an image file for it of just use   and v   Just like the Google Maps in the mobile version this was referring to the ancient mobile Google Maps     As others also suggested  you can also create triangles with HTML  either with CSS borders or SVG shapes or even JavaScript canvases   CSS  div      width  0px      height  0px      border-top  10px solid black      border-left  8px solid transparent      border-right  8px solid transparent      border-bottom  none      SVG   lt svg width  16  height  10  gt       lt polygon points  0 0 16 0 8 10   gt   lt  svg gt    JavaScript  var ctx   document querySelector  canvas   getContext  2d        do not use with   outside of this demo  with ctx       beginPath        moveTo 0 0       lineTo 16 0       lineTo 8 10       fill        endPath        Demo

OPTION 1  UNICODE COLUMN SORT ARROWS  I found this one very handy for a single character column sorter   Looks good upscaled     amp  x21D5         IMPORTANT NOTE  When using Unicode symbols   Unicode support varies dependant on the symbol of choice  browser and the font family  If you find your chosen symbol does not work in some browsers then try using a different font-family  Microsoft recommends  Segoe UI Symbol  however it would be wise to include the font with your website as not many people have it on their computers    Open this page in other browsers to see which symbols render with the default font     Some more Unicode arrows   You can copy them right off the page below or you can use the code   Each row of arrows is numbered from left to right   0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F   Simply insert the corresponding number letter before the closing semi-colon as above      amp  x219                                                                       amp  x21A

Not ASCII  neither s       needs qualification   While these characters are not defined in the American Standard Code for Information Interchange as glyphs  their codes WERE commonly used to give a graphical presentation for ASCII codes 24 and 25  hex 18 and 19  CANcel and EM End of Medium   Code page 437  called Extended ASCII by IBM  includes the numeric codes 128 to 255  defined the use of these glyphs as ASCII codes and the ubiquity of these conventions permeated the industry as seen by their deployment as standards by leading companies such as HP  particularly for printers  and IBM  particularly for microcomputers starting with the original PC   Just as the use of the ASCII codes for CAN and EM was relatively obsolete at the time  justifying their use as glyphs  so has the passage of time made the use of the codes as glyphs obsolete by the current use of UNICODE conventions     It should be emphasized that the extensions to ASCII made by IBM in Extended ASCII  included not only a larger numeric set for numeric codes 128 to 255  but also extended the use of some numeric control codes  in the ASCII range 0 to 32  from just media transmission control protocols to include glyphs   It is often assumed  incorrectly  that the first 0 to 128 were not  extended  and that IBM was using the glyphs of conventional ASCII for this range  This error is also perpetrated in one of the previous references  This error became so pervasive that it colloquially redefined ASCII subliminally

A lot of people here are suggesting to use the triangles  but sometimes you need a chevron    We had a case where our button shows a chevron  and wanted the user s manual to refer to the button in a way which will be recognized by a non-technical user too  So we needed a chevron sign    We used    in the end  It is known as PRESENTATION FORM FOR VERTICAL RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET and its code is U FE40

There are several correct ways to display a down-pointing triangle   Method 1   use decimal HTML entity  HTML     amp  9660      Method 2   use hexidecimal HTML entity  HTML     amp  x25BC      Method 3   use character directly  HTML          Method 4   use CSS  HTML     lt span class  icon-down  gt  lt  span gt    CSS     icon-down before       content    25BC         Each of these three methods should have the same output  For other symbols  the same three options exist  Some even have a fourth option  allowing you to use a string based reference  eg   amp hearts  to display      You can use a reference website like Unicode-table com to find which icons are supported in UNICODE and which codes they correspond with  For example  you find the values for the down-pointing triangle at http   unicode-table com en 25BC    Note that these methods are sufficient only for icons that are available by default in every browser  For symbols like             or    this is far less likely to be the case  While it is possible to provide cross-browser support for other UNICODE symbols  the procedure is a bit more complicated   If you want to know how to add support for less common UNICODE characters  see Create webfont with Unicode Supplementary Multilingual Plane symbols for more info on how to do this     Background images  A totally different strategy is the use of background-images instead of fonts  For optimal performance  it s best to embed the image in your CSS file by base-encoding it  as mentioned by eg   weasel5i2 and  Obsidian  I would recommend the use of SVG rather than GIF  however  is that s better both for performance and for the sharpness of your symbols   This following code is the base64 for and SVG version of the  icon       size  0 9kb    url data image svg

   When to use background-images or fonts  For many use cases  SVG-based background images and icon fonts are largely equivalent with regards to performance and flexibility  To decide which to pick  consider the following differences   SVG images   They can have multiple colors They can embed their own CSS and or be styled by the HTML document They can be loaded as a seperate file  embedded in CSS AND embedded in HTML Each symbol is represented by XML code or base64 code  You cannot use the character directly within your code editor or use an HTML entity Multiple uses of the same symbol implies duplication of the symbol when XML code is embedded in the HTML  Duplication is not required when embedding the file in the CSS or loading it as a seperate file You can not use color  font-size  line-height  background-color or other font related styling rules to change the display of your icon  but you can reference different components of the icon as shapes individually  You need some knowledge of SVG and or base64 encoding Limited or no support in old versions of IE   Icon fonts   An icon can have but one fill color  one background color  etc  An icon can be embedded in CSS or HTML  In HTML  you can use the character directly or use an HTML entity to represent it  Some symbols can be displayed without the use of a webfont  Most symbols cannot  Multiple uses of the same symbol implies duplication of the symbol when your character embedded in the HTML  Duplication is not required when embedding the file in the CSS  You can use color  font-size  line-height  background-color or other font related styling rules to change the display of your icon You need no special technical knowledge Support in all major browsers  including old versions of IE   Personally  I would recommend the use of background-images only when you need multiple colors and those color can t be achieved by means of color  background-color and other color-related CSS rules for fonts   The main benefit of using SVG images is that you can give different components of a symbol their own styling  If you embed your SVG XML code in the HTML document  this is very similar to styling the HTML  This would  however  result in a web page that uses both HTML tags and SVG tags  which could significantly reduce the readability of a webpage  It also adds extra bloat if the symbol is repeated across multiple pages and you need to consider that old versions of IE have no or limited support for SVG

I know I m late to the party but you can accomplish this with plain CSS as well   HTML    It can be any HTML element  if you re using an inline element like a  lt span gt  for example  make sure you make it a block inline-block element with display block  or display inline-block     lt div class  up  gt  lt  div gt   and   lt div class  down  gt  lt  div gt   CSS    up      height 0     width 0     border-top 100px solid black     border-left 100px solid transparent     transform rotate -45deg            down      height 0     width 0     border-bottom 100px solid black     border-right 100px solid transparent     transform rotate -45deg          You can also accomplish it using  before and  after pseudo-elements  which is actually a better way since you avoid creating extra markup  But that s up to you on how you d like to accomplish it   --  Here s a Demo in CodePen with many arrow possibilities

Since you re using these arrows for a toggle switch you may want to consider creating these arrows with an html element using the following styles instead of unicode characters    upparrow      height  0     width  0     border  4px solid transparent     border-bottom-color   000      downarrow      height  0     width  0     border  4px solid transparent     border-top-color   000      http   jsfiddle net FrsGR

Usually  best is to see a character in his context  Here is the full list of Unicode chars  and how your browser currently displays them  I am seeing this list evolving  browser versions after others  This list is obtained by iteration in decimal of the html entities unicode table  it may take some seconds  but is very useful to me in many cases  By hovering quickly a given char you will get the dec and hex and the shortcuts to generate it with a keyboard   x000D   x000D  var i   0     do document write   lt a title   Linux Hex    CTRL SHIFT  u   i  toString 16    nHtml entity   amp     i    n amp  x   i  toString 16     n Win Dec    ALT    i    onmouseover  this focus    onclick  this href     google com  q    this innerHTML  style  cursor pointer  target  new  gt     amp    i    lt  a gt    i       while  i lt 136690  window stop          From https   codepen io Nico KraZhtest pen mWzXqy x000D   x000D   x000D   The same snippet as a bookmarklet  javascript void 20 function   var 20t 0 do document write  22 3Ca 20title   Linux Hex   20 CTRL SHIFT  u 22 t toString 16   22 nHtml 20entity  20 26 23 20 22 t  22  n 26 23x 22 t toString 16   22  n Win Dec   20 ALT   22 t  22  20onmouseover  this focus    20onclick  this href   22https   google com  3Fq   22 this innerHTML  20style  cursor pointer  20target  new  3E 26 23 22 t  22  3C a 3E 22  t   while t 3C136690  window stop         To generate that list from php  for   x   0   x  lt  136690   x        echo html entity decode   amp     x     ENT NOQUOTES  UTF-8       To generate that list into the console  using php  php -r  for   x   0   x  lt  136690   x      echo html entity decode  quot  amp   quot   x  quot   quot  ENT NOQUOTES  quot UTF-8 quot        Here is a plain text extract  of arrows  some are coming with unicode 10 0  http   unicode org versions Unicode10 0 0   Unicode 10 0 adds 8 518 characters  for a total of 136 690 characters                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Hey  did you notice the plain html  lt details gt  element has a drop down arrow  This is sometimes all what we need   x000D   x000D   lt details gt     lt summary gt Morning lt  summary gt     lt p gt Hello world  lt  p gt   lt  details gt   lt details gt     lt summary gt Evening lt  summary gt     lt p gt How sweat  lt  p gt   lt  details gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

Unicode arrows heads      - U 25B2 BLACK UP-POINTING TRIANGLE   - U 25BC BLACK DOWN-POINTING TRIANGLE   - U 25B4 SMALL BLACK UP-POINTING TRIANGLE   - U 25BE SMALL BLACK DOWN-POINTING TRIANGLE   For   and   use  amp  x25B2  and  amp  x25BC  respectively if you cannot include Unicode characters directly  use UTF-8     Note that the font support for the smaller versions is not as good  Better to use the large versions in smaller font   More Unicode arrows are at    http   en wikipedia org wiki Arrow  28symbol 29 Arrows in Unicode http   en wikipedia org wiki Geometric Shapes   Lastly  these arrows are not ASCII  including   and    they are Unicode
