The key command to create lightning in your text

Would you like the ability to include some lightning bolts in your txts? Could your tweets use some extra magnificent flash? I would love to have a lightning bolt character. And you know what? Unicode has a lightning bolt! Here it is:



That's no lightning bolt! That's a confused arrow! What is unicode trying to pull over on us?

(A big thanks to Vera for discovering this. She was the genius who wanted to find a lightning bolt character. And she is the genius for finding it, but discovering that it's a lost arrow. Thank you Vera-the-Genius!)
