Squeak Smalltalk vertical arrow in code

I'm trying to learn Smalltalk and so I'm doing the "Squeak by Example" tutorial. I have to write a method in the system browser with a vertical arrow which points up at the beginning of the code. Is there a Unicode sign or something like this, which I could use in Windows?

Thanks in advance (I know, it's a very simple question, but I don't get the clue)! :)

Vertical arrow is ^ on your keyboard.

Squeak was namely an Apple sponsored project and from Mac keyboard comes a vertical arrow. On non-Mac computers a ^ is an equal replacement.

This answer serves as a historical note on the up arrow. "The Smalltalk-76 Programming System Design and Implementation" uses up- and left-arrows. The "Smalltalk-72 Instruction Manual" also uses up- and left-arrows. (Notably, both use a hollow up-arrow - think an equals sign on its side and topped with a ^.)
