Leftwards Triangle-headed Paired Arrows Symbol Meaning
⮄ (U+2B84) is Unicode symbol “LEFTWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED PAIRED ARROWS.” As a paired, left-pointing arrow, it commonly communicates direction to the left—often implying “back,” “move left,” or “previous” in interfaces. The triangle heads reinforce a clear directional cue, while the paired form can suggest emphasis, double-action, or a strengthened transition compared with a single arrow. You’ll also see it used in labeling, diagrams, or editorial text where a clear leftward flow or navigation hint is helpful. Treat it as a directional arrow glyph rather than a mathematical operator.
