Unicode / ASCII arrows in 8 directions?

I'm looking for Unicode / ASCII arrows in all 8 directions (up, down, left, right, downright, downleft...). I would prefer arrows in the type of < >. But I did not find them yet. Do they exist?

As an alternative to the ones already suggested user Lynn, there are wider arrows at code points U+27A1 and U+2B05 through U+2B0B:

Here they are:

↖ ↑ ↗
← · →
↙ ↓ ↘

Their codepoints are U+2190 through U+2193 for the orthogonal arrows (left, up, right, down) and U+2196 through U+2199 for the diagonal ones (up-left, up-right, down-right, down-left).

The wingdings font has the arrows from 0xE7 to 0xEE.

Did you check "charmap" (on windows, start, run, charmap)?
