direction arrows

Signs showing way

Direction arrows are symbols pointing the way, typically found on signs, maps, interfaces, and packaging.

They guide movement or indicate which way something should go, face, or be inserted: Follow the direction arrows to the exit.

On keyboards and remote controls, direction arrows (or arrow keys) navigate menus and move cursors.
