You can also use the rightwards arrow (U+2192) which is used in encyclopedias for references.</div>

This is of course an issue with any proposed character rejected on the<br/>
grounds of insufficient usage that the proposal, fonts made, etc and the<br/>
record thereof creates a certain amount of new usage.😀<br/>
