RightPointing

Rightpointing is an adjective describing something oriented toward or directed toward the right side. It is used to characterize arrows, symbols, or directional cues in a variety of contexts.

In design and user interfaces, rightpointing arrows are common indicators for forward motion or progression—such as next, continue, or submit actions. Variations include simple arrow glyphs, triangular pointers, or chevrons, and their appearance—size, color, and contrast—affects prominence and usability.

In signage and diagrams, rightpointing icons guide viewers along a sequence or route. On maps with standard east-up orientation, a rightward direction roughly corresponds to east.

In political discourse, rightpointing is a descriptive term for alignment with right-wing or conservative positions; this usage contrasts with leftpointing to denote the ideological spectrum.

In typography and iconography, rightpointing motifs such as arrows and pointers are used to suggest movement, progress, or flow within text, diagrams, and user interfaces; designers often pair them with accessible labels to aid assistive technologies.
