About this character

U+2198 (↘) is SOUTH EAST ARROW, a symbol in the Arrows block. Its script is Common: it is shared by many writing systems rather than belonging to one. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

Its emoji name (CLDR short name) is “down-right arrow”, in the Symbols group, subgroup arrow. By default it is shown as a text glyph; follow it with U+FE0F VARIATION SELECTOR-16 to request the colour emoji form (U+2198 U+FE0F), or with U+FE0E VARIATION SELECTOR-15 to force text style.

Its East Asian Width is Ambiguous: it takes one column in Western contexts and two in East Asian legacy contexts, a common cause of misaligned tables in terminals.
