Which way do accordion arrows go?
I'd say the convention is for the arrow to point right when collapsed and down when expanded.
Which way should an arrow point?
A common approach is for the arrow to point right when the content is closed and down when the content is open. The right-pointing arrow indicates there is something else to progress to; the downwards arrow leads the eye towards the newly revealed content.
What is the drop down arrow called?
It's called a caret. It looks kind of like a triangle or a pyramid, and it kind of functions like an arrow.
