Arrow
Arrow Symbol
noun
矢印 combines the kanji arrow and the vocab word 印 (mark), giving us the type of arrow you use for pointing at things, like these: →↑↓←. It could be an arrow on a sign, or on a piece of paper, or a document. We can just call it an arrow, or an arrow symbol.
The reading is 矢 and 印 put together into one. The 印 is like the actual vocab word 印, but watch out for rendaku changing it from しるし to じるし.
