Click the arrow above and it is on your clipboard; paste it into the post, the headline, a comment, or a message. LinkedIn keeps it because an arrow is an ordinary character, the same as a letter, not formatting that the composer strips. Search the box by a plain word, like "right", "curved", or "double", to find a particular one. ### Which arrow works best in a LinkedIn headline? A plain one. The rightwards arrow (→) and the vertical bar (|) are the two separators that read cleanly at headline size on every device, as in "Head of Sales → now building the thing I wished existed". Keep the words either side of it plain text: LinkedIn search matches words, and the arrow is not one. ### Do arrows count against the character limit? Yes, one character each, against the same 3,000-character post limit as everything else. A dozen arrows in a post cost you a dozen characters, which is nothing; what they cost is attention, and that runs out sooner. ### Do arrows look the same on phones and desktops? The common ones do: → ← ↑ ↓ ⇒ ➜ ➤ ↗ and the triangles are in every system font. The rarer shapes, such as the feathered and shadowed arrows near the end of the Right group, depend on the font a device has, and an older phone can show a box instead. Use the plain ones for anything the reader has to understand, and the decorative ones only where a missing glyph would not matter. ### How do I type an arrow with the keyboard? On Windows, hold Alt and type on the number pad: Alt+26 gives →, Alt+27 gives ←, Alt+24 gives ↑, and Alt+25 gives ↓. A Mac has no built-in arrow shortcut; open the character viewer with Control+Command+Space and search "arrow", or copy from this page. Phones have no arrow key at all, which is the reason this page exists. ### What does an arrow sound like to a screen reader? Its name, every time: "rightwards arrow", "heavy round-tipped rightwards arrow". One arrow marking a step or a result is fine. A row of five in front of every line is read out five times per line, so keep arrows to the places where they carry meaning. ### Is it free, and does it store anything? Free, with no account and no watermark, like every tool on this site. The page runs in your browser; nothing you copy goes anywhere but your clipboard. It remembers your recently copied arrows in your browser so they are one click away next time. ## More free tools - [Every free tool for LinkedIn and X](https://depost.ai/tools) --- Cite as Depost AI (https://depost.ai/tools/linkedin-arrows).
