> Why not?The ⇦ made perfectly sense when shown in the right gutter since it pointed to the post.But when I see it below the post it looks like an outgoing link.⇨ on the other hand means incoming link for me.

I don’t disagree, but to uninitiated eyes the logic works both ways:

⇨ = Link from outside is pointing in here

⇦ = This link is from the outside

> Showing the links without an icon below the post will be confusing. There’s no context unless we have the room for text like “These topics link here”.

I’m also very much in favour of _some_ kind of icon there, as I think it’s important to break away from the post body. What about [fa-external-link-square](http://fontawesome.io/icon/external-link-square/)?
