Is it acceptable to use the same arrow icon style for two different functions on the same web page?
In this scenario I am using a chevron type icon for left/right navigation in a carousel to move through content. At the same time I am also using the same chevron inside buttons alongside text to indicate the button will take the user to see more content. Is this confusing? Or should I define an arrow/chevron style for left/right nav and a separate one for link clicks? From a UI standpoint I do not like having 2 different arrows on the page, but am questioning how it might affect the usability if they are the same. In this post a similar question is asked but it is referring to different pages
