Arrows commonly indicate where to go next, and they guide users through interfaces and documents. This symbol combines that directional cue with the idea of equality. It can suggest that a step equals a change of state or a transition that preserves balance. In documents, arrows help readers follow a path or a sequence. In math and notation, common symbols indicate operations or comparisons in formulas. This particular mark can be used in both settings to convey a result that leads onward. For users, it offers a clear visual cue that something leads to a new place or condition. The symbol is part of the Supplemental Arrows-B block and fits with other directional signs.
