Which way should chevrons point?
Chevrons are most often used on the outside of a curve or the narrowing of a road. For the striped designs, the stripes should point down – to indicate the direction for the traffic to pass an obstruction.
What is the downward arrow called?
Caret (or downward-facing arrow)
What is a carrot in UX?
It's often said in UX that if you inconvenience users, even slightly, they will leave you in their droves for your competitors. It's used as an argument for providing better usability in products.
What is a dropdown arrow?
The arrow on a dropdown button should point right or down as it indicates new content will be visible once clicked. Once the dropdown has been opened, clicking the button again should close it.
