0x25B9

0x25B9 is the Unicode code point U+25B9, commonly referred to as the White Right-Pointing Triangle. It is part of the Geometric Shapes block, which covers code points from U+25A0 to U+25FF. The character is used as a simple directional symbol in text and graphics and appears as an outlined triangle pointing to the right in many fonts.

In terms of encoding, U+25B9 is represented in UTF-8 as three bytes: E2 96 B9. In HTML and other environments, it can be included via a numeric character reference such as ▹. The rendering of the symbol depends on the font and rendering system; some fonts render it as a hollow outline, while others may depict it with varying line thickness or stylistic details.

Usage of this symbol is common in diagrams, user interfaces, and indicators that point to the right, such as navigation cues or next-step markers. It can serve as a lightweight, non-intrusive directional indicator in graphical interfaces or documentation. It is distinct from its filled counterpart, U+25B6, which represents a black right-pointing triangle and is more commonly used as a play symbol in media controls.
