Arrows for drop down menu ( Header )

Hi I'm trying to create this. Wondering if someone help with this. Is it an option? Thanks so much! 

Try adding this Custom CSS:

// header folder arrow
a.header-nav-folder-title::after {
  content:' ▾';
  font-size:0.85rem;
}

You can also consider using Squarespace Font Icons to do this, add to Design > Custom CSS

/* dropdown arrow */
a.header-nav-folder-title:after {
    content: "\e009";
    font-family: 'squarespace-ui-font';
    position: relative;
    top: 2px;
}

Hi @tuanphan thank you for this! I have added the /e009 icon but am wondering if there's anything I can add to this code to make the icon slightly larger? Say double the size that is automatically showing. Thank you!

where do we find the squarespace ui font codes?

The codes start at e000 and run thru f066 non consecutively.

There are programs that can load a font and show you the characters and codes.

Which application you use depends on your OS. You can research online.

Here is one online tool.

The font (squarespace-ui-font.woff) is served with a Squarespace site. Here's a table of the codes for reference:

I also have this list

Hi- I added this code and it worked, but now my one nav menu item that doesn't have a dropdown menu is slightly higher than the rest. Is there a way to remedy this? Thank you.
 

/* dropdown arrow */
a.header-nav-folder-title:after {
    content: "\e009";
    font-family: 'squarespace-ui-font';
    position: relative;
    top: 2px;
}

@tuanphan
The website is: https://hammerstone.squarespace.com/ 
PW is: hammerstone

You'll see SHOP in the nav bar is slightly higher than the rest. When I adjust the number 2, that moves the dropdown arrows, but not "Shop". 

Thank you

Use this CSS code

nav.header-nav-list {
    align-items: center;
}
nav.header-nav-list>div:last-child {
    position: relative;
    top: 1px;
}

I'm having the same issue, your code above didn't help in this case. The Nav links with the arrow are about 1 pixel lower. It almost looks like its a slightly different font?
Check it out...

I tried adjusting the (top: 2px) and nothing happens. I tried 3px, 5px, 10px and nothing

Find this code in your CSS box and adjust top

If you can't find it, add this code to Custom CSS

a.header-nav-folder-title:after {
    top: 5px !important;
}

Thank you! However, that just adjusts the arrow lower or higher, I tried that earlier. I need to adjust the nav links with the arrows to be 1 px higher than the nav items without the arrow.

To target nav link with arrow, use this CSS code

div.header-nav-item.header-nav-item--folder {
    position: relative;
    top: -1px;
}
