x25B7 refers to the Unicode code point U+25B7, named White Right-Pointing Triangle. It is part of the Geometric Shapes block and represents a hollow triangle oriented to the right. The symbol is used as a geometric glyph in various fonts and rendering environments, with its appearance varying by typeface and weight.

In terms of encoding, U+25B7 is encoded in UTF-8 as the three-byte sequence E2 96 B7. In HTML and related markup, it can be included using the numeric character reference ▷ or the decimal equivalent ▷. The glyph may render as an outline or a hollow triangle depending on the font.

Usage of the White Right-Pointing Triangle is common in user interfaces and typesetting as a directional indicator, navigation cue, or decorative bullet in certain contexts. It is sometimes employed as a play or forward indicator in minimal designs, though more solid, filled triangles (such as U+25B6) are often preferred for strong visual impact. Its hollow design makes it suitable for use on lighter backgrounds, but compatibility with fonts and color contrast should be considered for accessibility.

Related symbols include U+25B6 BLACK RIGHT-POINTING TRIANGLE, which presents as a filled version. Designers may choose between these shapes based on readability, contrast, and the desired emphasis within a given UI or document.
