The South East Arrow symbol (↘) is a diagonal arrow pointing downward and to the right. Originally part of the standard Unicode Arrows block, it frequently appears in maps, diagrams, and user interfaces to indicate a specific direction or spatial relationship. In everyday digital communication, people also use it to represent a downward trend, such as dropping metrics on a chart, or to draw attention to content located in the bottom right corner of a screen.
