Upwards Paired Arrows Symbol Meaning
The symbol ⇈ (UPWARDS PAIRED ARROWS, U+21C8) consists of two arrow marks pointing upward. In common usage, it represents upward movement or escalation—such as increasing values, moving content up, or indicating a “rise” action. Because the arrows are paired, it can also imply action occurring in both directions or simultaneously (for example, “move up” behavior in paired controls). In interfaces and diagrams, it’s often chosen to be clearer and more compact than words like “increase” or “up.” It’s also used decoratively to add visual direction to headings, lists, and emphasis.
Common uses
- •UI controls and menus to indicate a move-up or increase action
- •Data displays to label “upward” trends or higher levels
- •Workflow diagrams where steps move upward (e.g., stage progression)
- •Document formatting and editors to mark items that should be raised
- •Design accents for posters, slides, and social posts about growth or improvement
