What is the HTML unicode character for a "tall" right chevron?

I am looking for a unicode right chevron character, with no handle on the left, and I would like the top point and bottom point to be spread far apart. Similar to Ubuntu's (website) arrow in the search box.

I don't want »(») or →(→) or simply >. The problem with the first is there are two chevrons, not just one. The other one is way too small and has a handle. The third one has a vertex that is too acute.

I have looked at just about every unicode chart there is, and if there is none, then I'll just have to use an image (like Ubuntu). I'll deal with it, but that is a last resort.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Use '›'

› -> single right angle quote. For single left angle quote, use ‹

From the description and from the reference to the search box in the Ubuntu site, I gather that you actually want an arrowhead character pointing to the right. There are no Unicode characters designed to be used as arrowheads, but some of them may visually resemble an arrowhead.

In particular, if you draw your idea of the character at Shapecatcher.com, you will find many suggestions, such as “〉” RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET' (U+232A) and “❭” MEDIUM RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET ORNAMENT (U+276D).

Such characters generally have limited support in fonts, so you would need to carefully write a longish font-family list or to use a downloadable font. See my Guide to using special characters in HTML.

Especially if the intended use is as a symbol in a search box, as the reference to the Ubuntu page suggests, it is questionable whether you should use a character at all. It’s not really an element of text here; rather, a graphic symbol that accompanies text but isn’t a part of it. So why take all the trouble with using a character (safely), when it isn’t really a character?

I use ▸ (0x25B8) for the right arrow, often to show a collapsed list; and I pair it with ▾ (0x25BE) to show the list opened up. Both are unobtrusive.
