Up Arrow symbol
Type :uparrow: · Arrows
What ↑ is for
An increase, a sort order, or a key on the keyboard. Paired with the down arrow it is the clearest way to write a rise and fall in a plain-text field.
How to type ↑
The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With
Emoji Anywhere
installed you can skip all of them and type
:uparrow: in any text field instead, which
is the same on every platform.
macOS
No direct shortcut. Use Edit → Emoji & Symbols, or switch to the Unicode Hex Input
source and type 2191
with Option held.
Windows
No Alt code. In Word, type 2191 then press Alt +
X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
