The → right arrow tends to show up in plain text whenever next steps, flow notes, directional captions need more structure or visual direction.

This left arrow is most useful in text-heavy layouts built around back navigation, pointing back, reverse flow where the character has to do real visual work.

This up arrow is most useful in text-heavy layouts built around upward movement, scroll hints, growth labels where the character has to do real visual work.

The ↓ down arrow is commonly copied for drop-down cues, downward movement, scroll hints when the goal is structure, not just decoration.
