Where the arrows come from
The arrows here are every character in Unicode's Arrows block plus the long arrows of Supplemental Arrows-A and the heavy arrows of the Dingbats block. Simple arrows like → (U+2192 RIGHTWARDS ARROW) have been in Unicode since Unicode 1.1 (1993).
Arrows with Windows Alt codes
Four arrows have classic Alt codes from the old IBM PC character set: ↑ Alt+24, ↓ Alt+25, → Alt+26 and ← Alt+27.
