You mean you want the "up arrow" and "down arrow" symbols? There are a few different versions of these symbols. Here are two sets (in 20pt). You should be able to copy/paste them from here to your document.

In a formula you can use it like this

=IF(B2=TRUE,"⬇︎","⬆︎")

If you mean arrows to indicate increasing or decreasing numbers (not increasing or decreasing font size) you might want to check out the ideas in this thread, which discusses two ways to highlight increasing/decreasing values in a column of numbers, one using special characters and one using Conditional Highlighting.


It also illustrates use of the built-in Mac Character Viewer to insert special characters similar to those in Badunit's post.
