The down arrow symbol ↓ points to the bottom, so it means fall, decrease, "see below" or "download". It is the arrow behind every "link in bio ↓" post, and a small ▼ marks almost every drop-down menu you click.
Tap any downward arrow symbol in the grid to copy it. Down below you will find the meaning of each style, a short chemistry note, and simple ways to type ↓ on a computer or phone.
What the Arrow Down Symbol Means
- Decrease: "Tomato price ↓ 20%" or "Errors ↓ this month".
- See below: "Full list ↓" or "Link in bio ⤵". Curved ⤵ is a favourite for this in posts.
- Drop-down menus: ▼ next to a word tells you a list will open when you click it.
- Download: ⬇ is often used on download buttons.
- Chemistry: ↓ after a product means it forms a solid that settles at the bottom (a precipitate). Example: AgNO₃ + NaCl → AgCl↓ + NaNO₃.
- Finance tables: ▼ shows a loss or fall, usually next to a red number.

The outline ▽ looks a bit like the maths nabla sign ∇, but they are different characters, so do not swap them in physics or maths work.
Down Arrow Symbol on Keyboard and Phone
The ↓ arrow key moves the cursor down; it cannot type the symbol. Use these instead:
- Windows: with Num Lock on, hold Alt and type 25 on the number pad. Alt+31 gives ▼. These are old DOS codes and may not work in every program.
- Word: type
2193, then press Alt+X. Use25BCfor ▼. - Excel:
=UNICHAR(8595)for ↓ or=UNICHAR(9660)for ▼. - Mac: no Option key shortcut; open Character Viewer (Control+Command+Space) and search "downwards".
- Android and iPhone: search "down arrow" in emoji to get ⬇️ or ⤵️. For the plain text ↓, use copy and paste from this page.
Up and Down Arrow Symbol Together
Up and down arrows often work as a pair. For one character that points both ways, use ↕ (Alt+18), which can mean "scroll", "sort" or "move up or down". In tables, show change with a matching pair:
| Item | This month | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Sales | ₹4,20,000 | ▲ 8% |
| Returns | ₹12,000 | ▼ 3% |
See the up arrow symbol page for rising arrows, and the right arrow and left arrow pages for sideways ones. All styles sit together on the arrow symbols page.
