Unicode has snowmen and chess pieces. Does it have the first (<< or |<), previous (<), next (>) and last (>> or >|) symbols? Those would be quite useful for site navigation between articles and the like.

A:
it has « (0x00AB) and » (0x00BB)
or maybe these:
- ⇤ (first 0x21E4)
- ← (prev 0x2190)
- → (next 0x2192)
- ⇥ (last 0x21E5)

These are left/right quotation marks, not arrows.

I know, but they could be (are?) used as navigation links

A:
I can't find any symbols with those exact meanings, so I guess that you have to combine symbols into what you want. Perhaps the arrows 276E and 276F, and the vertical bar 2759 (PDF).
If you are using this on a webpage, you should be a bit restrictive with what characters you use. Not all fonts have the entire unicode character set, and as you know you can never be 100% sure that the page is shown using the font that you want. Perhaps images may be a better choise to get a consistent look.
