The mouse pointer shape typically changes to a four-headed arrow when a shape is selected. This indicates that the shape can be moved in any direction.
It usually looks like an arrow. But you can customize the mouse cursor to have a wide range of appearances if you want to. You can do this by going into 'My Computer' and selecting the mouse icon.
An I-beam is a cursor on the mouse that makes it look like a capital "I". It happens when the mouse goes over highlightable text. When you mouseover text, the cursor changes its look, the new 'I' look is called an I-beam pointer.

You can choose from a variety of built-in cursor shapes or create your custom cursor design.
To change the cursor shape on a MacBook Air, you can go to the "System Preferences" from the Apple menu. Then, click on "Accessibility" and select "Display" from the sidebar. Under the "Cursor" section, you can adjust the cursor size and color. Unfortunately, changing the actual shape of the cursor is not a built-in feature in macOS.
It could be many shapes, depending on your graphics application. Some common shapes are pencil, arrow, paint brush, and cross hair.
The computer cursor is the little arrow (or whatever you have set it as) that moves about the screen when you move your mouse, or finger on a trackpad. You use it to click things, drag things around, highlight words, and things to that effect. When the cursor looks like an animated glove, the item your cursor is hovering over may be clicked on for something to happen. If the computer is loading, it may appear as an hourglass, or on a mac, a "colorful spinning wheel of death." A computer cursor can also take the shape of a sword or armored glove depending on what game or application you are using. This isn't the exact denotation, but close enough XD.
A pencil is usually sharpened to a point.
When you place your cursor over the insertion point it changes to the I bar.
