Up Down White Arrow Symbol Meaning
The ⇳ symbol is a bidirectional “up and down” arrow presented in a white style. Because it points both ways, it often communicates motion, cycling, or a two-direction flow rather than a single direction. In interface text, it can indicate scrolling, toggling, or moving through options. In documents and diagrams, it may be used to highlight an action that involves returning, reversing, or continuing between levels. As a simple typographic glyph, its meaning is usually determined by surrounding text and the context of the UI element, heading, or instruction.
