Upwards Harpoon With Barb Left Beside Downwards Harpoon With Barb Right Symbol Meaning
⥮ (U+296E) is categorized under arrows and visually presents two “harpoon” arrowheads together: an upwards harpoon with the barb on the left, positioned beside a downwards harpoon with the barb on the right. Because it includes both an upward and downward direction in one glyph, it’s often used to represent opposing motion or bidirectional behavior in a single icon-like character. Depending on your context, it can suggest directions such as rising/falling, incoming/outgoing, or two-way interaction. Treat its meaning as directional styling rather than a specific universal icon.
