Comparison of BLACK ARROW glyphs at 10 and 30 size.

I'm not entirely familiar with unicode, but it appears that the BLACK
RIGHTWARDS ARROW (U+27A1) is stored in a unicode block for use as bullet
symbols.

In the range of U+2B05-2B0D are a series of BLACK ARROWS that excludes the
rightward arrow, and according to http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2700.pdf,
U+27A1 completes this series of glyphs.

The problem I have is that the BLACK RIGHTWARDS ARROW does not have a design
that is consistent with those related BLACK ARROW glyphs (see attachment).

I request that the BLACK RIGHTWARDS ARROW (U+27A1) be changed to mirror the
LEFTWARDS BLACK ARROW (U+2B05).  This would provide at least one set of arrows
in the DejaVu Sans Mono typeface that is strongly visible in UXTerm at size 10
(and hopefully all terminal emulators by extension).
