Leftwards Triangle-headed Arrow Over Rightwards Triangle-headed Arrow Symbol Meaning
⮀ displays a leftwards, triangle-headed arrow stacked over a rightwards, triangle-headed arrow. This layout commonly signals two-way direction, such as moving back and forth, bidirectional flow, exchange, or compare-and-contrast relationships. Because it’s symmetric and compact, it’s also used as a visual marker in interfaces and diagrams where space is limited. In text, it can serve as a short replacement for phrases like “left/right,” “move between,” or “switch.” It’s not a standard math operator, but it can function as a typographic icon for direction and navigation cues.
Common uses
- •UI labels for bidirectional navigation (e.g., “move left/right” controls)
- •Indicating exchange or switching between two options (before/after, A↔B)
- •Diagrams showing two-way flow or return movement in a compact form
- •Text-based prompts or instructions where a direction cue saves space
- •Decorative separators or highlights in design systems for direction-related elements
