U+27F6 · Supplemental Arrows-A

Long Right Arrow ⟶

The long rightwards arrow is an extended version of the ordinary right arrow. It is used in mathematics for mappings and limits in displayed formulas, in chemistry-style reaction notation, and in design as a clear "next" or "read more" arrow. Its extra length gives it more visual weight on buttons and headings.

Good to know

Don’t mix it up: It is easily confused with the standard → (U+2192, RIGHTWARDS ARROW), which is shorter.

Tip: In HTML, the named entity ⟶ outputs ⟶.

Display: the character itself is always the same code point, but its shape comes from the font on the device showing it. If you see an empty box, the font lacks this glyph—the text is still correct.
