What am I talking about?
In most menus, the little flashing arrow points to the most important thing...

At other times, it's debatable whether it's pointing in the correct direction or not.


Some times, to my mind at least, it seems to be pointing in the wrong direction...

Yeah, I know that it's all the same graphic, but either using a different graphic for when the arrow needs to point the other way (right), or a side-neutral symbol of some sort in all cases, would be better IMO.
