There's no need to go digging through anything to find those characters,
it's easy enough to type this into your browser:
data:text/html,→
Then copy and paste the character into your editor, or the character
identifier if you want the numeric character reference. Ideally a good
editor would automatically convert entity references like → into
the UTF-8 encoded character for you, but I don't know of any that do.
