The Downwards White Arrow (⇩) features a thick, outlined shape pointing towards the bottom. In Unicode terminology, "white" indicates that the arrow is hollow or unfilled rather than a literal color. It is frequently used in digital design to indicate download links, point readers to important information below, or highlight drop-down menus.
