History & usage: The RIGHTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW is a symbol in the Arrows block of Unicode. Its codepoint is U+21D2, and its script is Common. In documents and interfaces, it can show movement to the right. It is used to indicate direction, flow, or a next step. The symbol is simple and clear, even at small sizes. In many digital tools, it appears on buttons and menus to imply advancing or continuing. The character is part of a general set that helps users navigate content. Designers choose it when a single arrow does not convey enough meaning. In text, it stays readable and recognizable across languages. Its double stroke helps it stand out from a single arrow. While not tied to a single platform, it serves a universal signaling role. This makes it helpful for warnings, guidance, or sequence indicators. Overall, the symbol acts as a concise cue for movement toward the right. Its placement should be consistent to avoid confusion for readers and users.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+21D2 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
