Type up and down arrows on iPad Pro Smart Keyboard

Hi,


How can I type up and down arrows on an iPad Pro Smart Keyboard or access Emoji & Symbols menu, as on my MacBook, to do so (the Symbols element is missing from the Emoji keyboard on my iPad)? I use both an English (British) and German (Swiss) keyboard layout. I need them to indicate strumming patterns in guitar tabs. I would really prefer not to have to resort to copy and paste all the time. Unless I'm missing something very obvious (a distinct possibility), I can find no way to do it or find any help relating specifically to this problem on this forum and, indeed, online.


Thanks in advance.

Use an app like Unicode Pad, or create a text replacement in your iPad for the special symbols you need.
