What characters can be used for up/down triangle (arrow without stem) for display in HTML?
1,348,757
Solution 1
Unicode arrows heads:
- ▲ - U+25B2 BLACK UP-POINTING TRIANGLE
- ▼ - U+25BC BLACK DOWN-POINTING TRIANGLE
- ▴ - U+25B4 SMALL BLACK UP-POINTING TRIANGLE
- ▾ - U+25BE SMALL BLACK DOWN-POINTING TRIANGLE
For ▲ and ▼ use ▲ and ▼ respectively if you cannot include Unicode characters directly (use UTF-8!).
Note that the font support for the smaller versions is not as good. Better to use the large versions in smaller font.
More Unicode arrows are at:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_%28symbol%29#Arrows_in_Unicode
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_Shapes
Lastly, these arrows are not ASCII, including ↑ and ↓: they are Unicode.
Solution 2
For HTML Entities
◄ = ◄
► = ►
▼ = ▼
▲ = ▲
Solution 3
OPTION 1: UNICODE COLUMN SORT ARROWS
I found this one very handy for a single character column sorter.(Looks good upscaled)
⇕ = ⇕
IMPORTANT NOTE (When using Unicode symbols)
Unicode support varies dependant on the symbol of choice, browser and the font family. If you find your chosen symbol does not work in some browsers then try using a different font-family. Microsoft recommends
"Segoe UI Symbol"however it would be wise to include the font with your website as not many people have it on their computers.
Open this page in other browsers to see which symbols render with the default font.
Some more unicode arrows.
To use them:
- Copy them right off the page.
- Use the code above each row inserting the corresponding hexadeximal number before the closing semi-colon relating to it's poition in the row.

OPTION 2: PURE CSS CHEVRONS
You can create the chevrons efficiently using only CSS
(No images required).
It's easy to manipulate:
- ROTATION
- THICKNESS
- COLOR
- SIZE
CSS (Efficient with cross browser support)
.chevron {
position: relative;
display: block;
height: 50px; /*height should be double border*/
}
.chevron::before,
.chevron::after {
position: absolute;
display: block;
content: "";
border: 25px solid transparent; /*adjust size*/
}
/* Replace all text `top` below with left/right/bottom to rotate the chevron */
.chevron::before {
top: 0;
border-top-color: #b00; /*Chevron Color*/
}
.chevron::after {
top: -10px; /*adjust thickness*/
border-top-color: #fff; /*Match background colour*/
}<i class="chevron"></i>OPTION 3: CSS BASE64 IMAGE ICONS
UP/DOWN
DOWN
UP
Using only a few lines of CSS we can encode our images into base64.
PROS
- No need to include additional resources in the form of images or fonts.
- Supports full alpha transparency.
- Full cross-browser support.
- Small images/icons can be stored in a database.
CONS
- Updating/editing can become a hassle.
- Not suitable for large images due to excessive code markup that's generated.
CSS
.sorting,
.sorting_asc,
.sorting_desc{
padding:4px 21px 4px 4px;
cursor:pointer;
}
.sorting{
background:url(data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhCwALAJEAAAAAAP///xUVFf///yH5BAEAAAMALAAAAAALAAsAAAIUnC2nKLnT4or00PvyrQwrPzUZshQAOw==) no-repeat center right;
}
.sorting_asc{

}

Solution 4
Sorry but they are only in Unicode. :(
Big ones:
-
U+25B2(Black up-pointing triangle ▲) -
U+25BC(Black down-pointing triangle ▼) -
U+25C0(Black left-pointing triangle ◀) -
U+25B6(Black right-pointing triangle ▶)
Big white ones:
-
U+25B3(White up-pointing triangle △) -
U+25BD(White down-pointing triangle ▽) -
U+25C1(White left-pointing triangle ◁) -
U+25B7(White right-pointing triangle ▷)
There is also some smalller triangles:
-
U+25B4(Black up-pointing small triangle ▴) -
U+25C2(Black left-pointing small triangle ◂) -
U+25BE(Black down-pointing small triangle ▾) -
U+25B8(Black right-pointing small triangle ▸)
Also some white ones:
-
U+25C3(White left-pointing small triangle ◃) -
U+25BF(White down-pointing small triangle ▿) -
U+25B9(White right-pointing small triangle ▹) -
U+25B5(White up-pointing small triangle ▵)
There are also some "pointy" triangles. You can read more here in Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_Shapes
But unfortunately, they are all Unicode instead of ASCII.
If you still want to use ASCII, then you can use an image file for it of just use ^ and v. (Just like the Google Maps in the mobile version this was referring to the ancient mobile Google Maps)
As others also suggested, you can also create triangles with HTML, either with CSS borders or SVG shapes or even JavaScript canvases.
CSS
div{
width: 0px;
height: 0px;
border-top: 10px solid black;
border-left: 8px solid transparent;
border-right: 8px solid transparent;
border-bottom: none;
}
SVG
<svg width="16" height="10">
<polygon points="0,0 16,0 8,10"/>
</svg>
JavaScript
var ctx = document.querySelector("canvas").getContext("2d");
// do not use with() outside of this demo!
with(ctx){
beginPath();
moveTo(0,0);
lineTo(16,0);
lineTo(8,10);
fill();
endPath();
}
Demo
Solution 5
There are literal arrowheads in the Spacing Modifier Letters block:
U+02C2 ˂ ˂ Modifier Letter Left Arrowhead
U+02C3 ˃ ˃ Modifier Letter Right Arrowhead
U+02C4 ˄ ˄ Modifier Letter Up Arrowhead
U+02C5 ˅ ˅ Modifier Letter Down Arrowhead

I'm looking for a HTML or ASCII character which is a triangle pointing up or down so that I can use it as a toggle switch.
I found ↑ (
↑), and ↓ (↓) - but those have a narrow stem. I'm looking just for the HTML arrow "head". -
Amit Patil about 14 yearsworks for me. ...The link, not the characters; that's Code page 437, not ASCII at all. 437 is an old DOS code page not usable in browsers.
-
FrustratedWithFormsDesigner about 14 yearsI just tried "ALT-[NUMPAD 3]-[NUMPAD 1]" and got: ▼ (OS is Windows XP SP3, browser is Firefox 3.6(?)).
-
Nathan Long over 13 yearsAlso, to complete the first set (up down left right - ▲▼◀▼), left is U+25C0 and right is U+25B6. I found these here: unicode.org/charts
-
Nathan Long over 13 years"Unicode triangles." Just wanted to say that for Google's sake. :)
-
mtness about 13 yearsunicode chars rock! btw, here is the right triangle: ▶ another useful resource might be en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_Shapes
-
Amit Patil about 13 yearsYes, though ◀/▶ are less well-supported in fonts/fallback than ▲/▼... typically IE6 users will see squares. The left/right ‘pointer’ characters ◄/► are slightly more widely-supported though still not as common as up/down.
-
Andrew over 12 yearsAnother note: To add these in CSS you just use the numeric part with a backslash in front, ie .example { content: "\25B2"; }
-
Magnus Magnusson over 11 yearsThe four borders of a square element meet at 45° angles so by only coloring one of the borders you end up with a triangle. You can see an example here: jsfiddle.net/FrsGR
-
weasel5i2 almost 10 yearsOops, I just noticed that the asker said "up OR down" so nevermind, but still, some may find this "up AND down" useful to some degree..
-
direct00 almost 10 yearsWhile it is nice to be able to do this in pure CSS, there are some issues such as lack of shading support in Firefox or IE, after hours wasted, I'm back to Unicode arrows -
Ricardo Zea almost 10 years@direct00 You're missing the point. If you know you're styling your arrows a certain way, you would know off the bat which method is best for your needs. If you wasted your time, it's not my solution's problem, is yours. And no need for that attitude either. Good luck. -
DreamTeK almost 10 yearsThe base64 option is a good addition to this thread. Good One. -
DreamTeK almost 10 yearsAlthough the base64 string for a simple gif is excessively long. Ive compressed a sharper base64 image of the same icon down to 70 characters. I've added it to my answer above.
-
Hlung almost 10 yearsIs it able to customize the color?
-
Ryan about 6 yearsThis looks helpful. Do you know how to tell whether Unicode 10 is supported in certain browsers? I checked caniuse.com/#search=unicode%2010, but it didn't seem to say. -
NVRM about 6 yearsWell, hard to say. For linux free browser like chromium, it isn't out of the box, but we can install additionnal fonts. The most complete is probably emojione: github.com/emojione/emojione -
laszlo about 4 yearsthe 🞁 and 🞃 are certainly prettier, but they don't work in react native (at least in v0.59) -
DragonLord almost 3 yearsjquery icon
ui-icon-triangle-2-n-s, orui-icon-caret-2-n-s. But only 16 pixels x 16 pixels, unless you scale it with a transform. -
Mark Stewart over 2 yearsThis approach might be more useful for accessibility purposes for screen readers, etc.
