Vector Arrow \overrightarrow

When to use Vector Arrow

Places a right arrow over a vector or segment label. In source, start from the exact \overrightarrow command instead of imitating the rendered glyph with Unicode characters or manual spacing. This keeps the expression editable and gives the renderer enough structure to apply mathematical spacing correctly.

Syntax

\overrightarrow

The documented syntax belongs to Core LaTeX. Keep every required argument, brace pair, and environment boundary intact when moving the command between an editor, Markdown processor, notebook, or publishing system.

Example

\overrightarrow{AB}

Rendered output

vector AB

Copy and compatibility checks

• Copy \overrightarrow exactly; changing its case or removing a leading backslash can turn it into plain text.
• Confirm that the destination loads Core LaTeX before relying on this command.
• Render the example once, then inspect grouping, limits, scripts, and spacing before publishing.
