The default cursor in CSS is typically an arrow, indicating that the element is clickable or selectable. If you want to explicitly set the default cursor for an element in CSS, you can use the cursor property and set it to default or auto, like so:

.element {
    cursor: default;
}

The default property will always shows the default arrow cursor.

.element {
    cursor: auto;
}

The auto property will make the cursor behave according to the default behavior of the browser for that particular element.

The default and auto values are slightly different: default always shows the default arrow cursor, whereas auto lets the browser decide the best cursor based on the context.
