Left Right Double Arrow With Vertical Stroke Symbol Meaning
The symbol ⤄ (LEFT RIGHT DOUBLE ARROW WITH VERTICAL STROKE, U+2904) is commonly used to represent bidirectional movement or a two-way transfer. The “double arrow” element suggests action in both directions, while the added vertical stroke often conveys a transition, interruption, or a change occurring along the path. In writing and interface text, it can communicate moving back and forth, redirecting a flow, or moving through a step that has an “entry/exit” feel. It’s especially handy when you want a directional arrow that feels more like switching than a simple single arrow.
