Leftwards Harpoon With Barb Down Above Rightwards Harpoon With Barb Down Symbol Meaning
⥧ is an arrow/harpoon glyph made from two opposed elements: a leftwards harpoon with a barb down above a rightwards harpoon with a barb down. Visually, it implies interaction between two directions—often read as mutual action, correspondence, or a back-and-forth relationship. Because it’s not limited to a single specialized field, it can also be used as a stylized connector in layouts, labels, and headings where you want a “two-way” or “opposing directions” cue. In writing, it works best when you pair it with short context text (e.g., “send/receive” or “↔”).
Common uses
