Up Barb Right Down Barb Left Harpoon Symbol Meaning
⥌ is an arrow symbol that visually combines two opposing directional cues: an up “barb” paired with a down “barb,” connected in a harpoon-like form. In practice, people use it to suggest directional action, navigation between two sides, or a stylized connection between movement directions. Because it’s part of the Arrows block (unicode U+294C), it often appears in typography, UI mockups, diagrams, and documents where a non-standard arrow is preferred. Its exact intent can vary by context, but the consistent takeaway is “directional linkage” in a compact glyph.
