Black Rightwards Bullet

The Black Rightwards Bullet at U+204D is a solid, right-pointing bullet mark used to introduce or emphasize an item in text. It is encoded in the General Punctuation block, alongside other list, spacing, and editorial punctuation marks. Its most practical use is typographic: it can serve as a distinctive bullet in menus, handouts, slide decks, or styled plain text where a standard round bullet feels too neutral. Because it points to the right, it often suggests progression, selection, or a callout, as in a short list item introduced by ⁍ before the text. It is also seen in symbol palettes, font specimen pages, and Unicode-aware publishing tools as one of several alternative bullet shapes. In everyday documents it is much less common than the ordinary bullet, triangular bullet, or arrow symbols, so authors usually choose it for visual tone rather than for a specialized technical meaning.
