Long Rightwards Double Arrow From Bar Symbol Meaning
⟾ (U+27FE) is a directional “double arrow” pointing to the right, with a bar on the left as part of the glyph design. In practice, it’s used to suggest motion, handoff, progression, or movement from one state or item to another. Because it’s a right-pointing arrow with doubled direction cues, it can work well where a single arrow feels too light—such as emphasizing transfer, continuation, or steps in a flow. It’s also commonly used as a typographic arrow in diagrams, headings, and UI labels where you want a distinctive, extended arrow without relying on images.
Common uses
- •UI labels and buttons to suggest “proceed” or “transfer to the right”
- •Flowcharts and process text to show step progression
- •Document markup and editor notes indicating movement to the next item
- •Callouts in tutorials or instructions (e.g., “move to the right”)
- •Design accents in headings and banners to add directional emphasis
