Downwards Two-headed Arrow With Triangle Arrowheads Symbol Meaning
⯯ is a downwards two-headed arrow with triangle arrowheads. Visually, it communicates downward movement and bidirectional directionality in a compact form. You’ll often see it used when content, steps, or attention should move “down,” such as moving to a lower section, showing drop-down navigation, or indicating an operation that proceeds downward. In diagrams and interface labels, the “two-headed” aspect can suggest there are two related flows or that movement can occur in both directions along a vertical path. Its triangle arrowheads make the intended direction especially noticeable in small UI elements or typographic layouts.
