What I do is I use aText and I use abbrebiations that start with!a-, like!a-right,!a-down, which then expand to the unicode arrows. At least for me this was the best way to effortlessly throw in arrows because the abbreviations are easy enough to remember: here's a gif of that — I thought that maybe you could use the built-in text expander, but I think it has some limitations that make it unusable in general. That's how I remember it anyways.

Use ctrl+cmd+space to bring up the Character Viewer. It is also accessible in edit menu → Emoji and Symbols. Leave the cursor where you want to type and double click on the arrow you want.
Alternatively, The alt codes for arrows can be viewed here on Wikipedia. Have Hex input enabled and active in input sources in keyboard preferences.
For right arrow, hold alt and type 2190. ← will appear.
