Up Arrow Symbols explained in plain English
Short summary
This page has 91 up arrow symbols to copy. 87 of them are symbol. Their home in Unicode is the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block. 4 of them are emoji and come out in colour. The other 87 take the colour of the text near them.
Movement toward the top
A straight up arrow can mean north, rise, upload, jump to the top, or move an item higher. Nearby words tell the reader which action is meant.
Upward branches and turns
North-east and north-west arrows add side movement. Curved, hooked, dashed, and double-stroke forms can show a turn, a return, or a formal mapping.
Interface checks
An up caret may close a menu while an up arrow may scroll a page. Add a label such as Upload, Increase, or Back to top when the action is not clear.

What the up arrow symbols inventory actually contains
Every figure below is counted from the 91 entries stored for this page rather than estimated. The characters are drawn from Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows (34), Arrows (28) and Supplemental Arrows-B (24).
