Black Up-Pointing Triangle
A solid up triangle marks a rise in a table, an expander that is open, or a sort ascending control in a header. Reach for ▲ in legends, bullet lists and small diagrams, where a plain keyboard falls short. It is cataloged at Unicode code point U+25B2 in the corners set, so it renders the same real text character in every app that supports the font, not a pasted image.
