History & usage: The symbol RIGHTWARDS TWO-HEADED ARROW WITH DOUBLE VERTICAL STROKE (codepoint U+2901) belongs to the Supplemental Arrows-B block. It is part of the Common script. In documents and interfaces, it shows two directions at once. It can indicate movement or choice along a path. The design uses two arrow tips pointing right, with a central vertical stroke and a second parallel line. This style clarifies that options extend to the right or that a sequence continues in the same general direction. The usage note describes its role in navigation cues. Arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents. This helps users understand flow, options, or steps. The symbol is used in diagrams, forms, and help text where a single glyph can convey dual movement. It supports quick recognition in multilingual contexts because it relies on simple shapes. As with many symbols, users interpret it best when paired with other cues, such as labels or adjacent icons. In practice, designers choose this arrow when they want to emphasize continued movement toward the right.
