Upwards Arrow With Double Stroke Symbol Meaning
⇞ is an upwards arrow marked with a double stroke, typically used to indicate upward movement or an “up” action. In interface text, it can suggest scrolling to a previous section or returning toward the top of a page. Compared with a single arrow, the double-stroke styling often communicates a stronger or more deliberate action, like “go up” rather than a generic direction. It may also appear in diagrams, labels, or instructional writing to show a change from lower to higher positions. While its use can vary by context, the most common intent is upward navigation or upward direction.
Common uses
- •UI buttons or links for “scroll up” or “back to top”
- •Status indicators that point to an upward trend or increasing value
- •Instruction text in documentation (“move up to continue”)
- •Diagram labels showing transitions from lower to higher levels
- •Accessibility-friendly hints paired with other navigation cues
