Rightwards Triangle-headed Arrow Over Leftwards Triangle-headed Arrow Symbol Meaning
⮂ is a rightwards triangle-headed arrow placed over a leftwards triangle-headed arrow (Unicode name: RIGHTWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED ARROW OVER LEFTWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED ARROW, U+2B82). Because it contains opposing directions in the same character, it’s commonly used to suggest movement or action going both ways. In UI text, it can indicate transfer, switching, or exchanging items or states. In writing and diagrams, it may be used as a compact visual cue for bidirectional flow. Like many Unicode arrow symbols, its exact interpretation depends on the surrounding text and layout rather than any single universally fixed meaning.
Common uses
- •Indicating swap or exchange actions in software UI (e.g., move item left/right, swap columns)
- •Representing bidirectional flow or back-and-forth movement in documentation
- •Labeling “transfer” controls where items can move both directions
- •Adding a compact directional icon to charts or infographics (paired directions in one glyph)
- •Decorating headings or callouts to emphasize switching/interaction between two sides
