How do I show the "up" and "down" arrow keyboard key in GitHub markdown?

Question

How do I show the "up" and "down" arrow keyboard keys (←, ↑, → and ↓) in GitHub markdown? So far I am able to show up and down. But how do I show the arrow symbol instead the text "up" and "down"?

Answer 1

As mentioned in "Unicode in Github markdown", you need to use the decimal value of the characters you want.

In your case, the arrow symbols, as shown here:

• left arrow: ← ←
• upward arrow: ↑ ↑
• right arrow: → →
• downward arrow: ↓ ↓
