Up Down Triangle-headed Arrow Symbol Meaning
The “up down triangle-headed arrow” (⭥) visually combines upward and downward triangular arrowheads. It commonly conveys motion, toggling, or movement between two states—such as up/down controls, bidirectional changes, or an indicator that something can go both ways. In documents and design mockups, it can function as a compact visual cue for sorting, navigation, or “adjust this up or down.” Because it’s symmetrical and directional in both directions, it often works well where you want to imply both increasing/decreasing or expanding/collapsing without writing extra words.
