1F8A

1F8A refers to the Unicode code point U+1F8A. It is located in the Supplemental Arrows-C block, which spans the range U+1F800 to U+1F8FF. This block contains a collection of arrow-related symbols used in a variety of technical, mathematical, and diagrammatic contexts. The exact glyph that U+1F8A represents depends on the font and rendering system in use.

As with other Unicode code points, the meaning and appearance of U+1F8A are not fixed across all platforms. If a font provides a glyph for this code point, it will be displayed as an arrow-like symbol; if the font lacks the corresponding glyph, the character may render as a placeholder or not display at all. Consequently, the practical appearance of U+1F8A can vary between operating systems, applications, and font choices.

Encoding and representation in computer systems follow the Unicode standard. U+1F8A is encoded in UTF-8 as a four-byte sequence and in UTF-16 as a surrogate pair. It is part of the broader set of symbols in the Arrows family, many of which are used in technical notation, user interface design, and document markup. Whether treated as an emoji or a generic symbol depends on the font and platform, since not all arrow-related characters are designated as emoji.
