Create big fat green arrow like in excel
For my masters thesis I'm using a specific questionnaire. The questionnaire provides an evaluation tool that provides some nice graphics in excel. I want to create the same look in Latex to keep everything consistent.
I can not find a good way to include an arrow symbol that look similar to the one in the picture.
textcolor{OliveGreen}{$uparrow$}
Just does not cut it for me.
I already looked here https://www.rpi.edu/dept/arc/training/latex/LaTeX_symbols.pdf and scribbled in http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html but found nothing suitable.

That list of symbols is very short (and old), it has 22pages compared with 338 of tug.ctan.org/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf . What you are looking for in in page 81 .usepackage{boisik} upblackarrow
