The Rightwards Arrow To Bar (⇥) is a standard Unicode symbol most commonly recognized as the "Tab" key icon on computer keyboards. Visually depicting an arrow hitting a vertical line, it indicates moving forward to a specific stop or alignment point. Designers and developers frequently use it in user interfaces and technical documentation to denote indentation, horizontal tabulation, or skipping to the next input field.
