History & usage: LEFTWARDS TWO-HEADED TRIPLE DASH ARROW is a symbol in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block with codepoint U+2B37. In use, arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents. They help readers move through options, states, or steps and can suggest bidirectional flow when a single symbol points both ways. The character is used in diagrams and text to show movement, choice, or contrast. In design and typography, this arrow appears in menus, controls, and flow charts where clear direction matters. It is one of several symbols that operators and writers rely on to guide attention and action. The history of such arrows tracks the shift from print to digital displays, where scalable fonts and consistent rendering matter. In practice, the symbol may be chosen for its visual balance or to suggest a nonlinear path rather than a straight line. Usage conventions differ by style and locale, so creators adapt the symbol to fit the surrounding text and the reader’s expectations. In every case, it communicates direction in a compact form and supports quick comprehension.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2B37 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.
