Downwards Double Arrow Symbol Meaning
⇓ (Downwards Double Arrow, U+21D3) visually communicates “down” or a downward direction with emphasis, often stronger than a single arrow. It’s frequently used as a UI cue (for scrolling or showing that more content is below), in instructions (to move downward or continue with the next step), or in text layouts (to point readers to an element beneath). In writing, it can also suggest a downward trend in a compact way, such as “results below” or “download here,” depending on your context. As with all arrows, clarity comes from pairing it with helpful nearby text.
Common uses
- •Scroll or navigate to content below on a page
- •Indicate the next section or step is further down
- •Label a download or “download below” callout
- •Show downward trends in dashboards or summaries
