Left Right Black Arrow Symbol Meaning
⬌ (LEFT RIGHT BLACK ARROW, U+2B0C) is a bidirectional arrow symbol. It indicates movement, flow, or interaction that can occur both directions—often “left to right and right to left.” In everyday writing it can suggest swapping, reversing, or toggling between two states. In user interfaces and labels it’s frequently used to represent directional controls (for example, shifting items between lists) or emphasizing that navigation goes both ways. Because it’s a simple arrow glyph, it’s also convenient for diagrams where direction matters but you want a compact, typographic marker.
Common uses

- •Indicating two-way navigation or switching direction in UI text
