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

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

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.

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

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

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

The site I like to use for this is codepoints.net

Here is a search for the words "arrowhead" and "triangle": https://codepoints.net/search?q=arrowhead+triangle

It has some matches for "triangle-headed arrow" that have stems, but it's only 4 small pages to skim over and there are many good matches with nice details on each character.

There is also a code block for "Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows" and this website lists them here: https://codepoints.net/miscellaneous_symbols_and_arrows

These are U 25B2   amp  x25B2  and U 25BC   amp  x25BC  respectively

This one seems to imply that 030 and 031 are up and down triangles    As bobince pointed out  this doesn t seem to be an ASCII standard

I think the asker may be referring to one of these (see attached image) - I found this StackOverflow question while searching for the same thing myself.

Unfortunately, this glyph doesn't seem to exist as a distinct character entity anywhere. Wikipedia accomplishes it below by using inline javascript and img content="data:image/gif..." to achieve the symbol.

There are several correct ways to display a down-pointing triangle.

Method 1 : use decimal HTML entity

HTML :

&#9660;

Method 2 : use hexidecimal HTML entity

HTML :

&#x25BC;

Method 3 : use character directly

HTML :

Method 4 : use CSS

HTML :

<span class='icon-down'></span>

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. &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 enter image description here icon :

/* size: 0.9kb */

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.
