down arrow

Scroll key symbol

A down arrow is an arrow-shaped symbol (↓) pointing downward, used on keyboards, interfaces, and signage to indicate downward movement or navigation.

On a keyboard, pressing the down arrow moves a cursor or selection lower on screen.

In contexts like stock tickers or weather forecasts, a down arrow signals decrease: The down arrow next to the price means it dropped.
