Upwards Two-headed Arrow With Triangle Arrowheads Symbol Meaning
⯭ (UPWARDS TWO-HEADED ARROW WITH TRIANGLE ARROWHEADS, U+2BED) is an arrow glyph that visually combines an upward direction with a two-headed (opposing) arrow style and triangle arrowheads. In practice, it’s commonly used to represent bidirectional motion or action that moves upward, such as shifting content up in two directions, showing “expand/raise” interactions from two sides, or emphasizing an upward flow that is not one-way. Designers often choose it when a simple up arrow isn’t expressive enough, and writers may use it as a compact visual marker in lists, instructions, or annotated text.
Common uses
- •User interface indicators for upward, two-direction actions (e.g., moving items upward in a list).
- •Document annotations to mark sections that should be raised or reorganized upward.
- •Iconography for systems that move or synchronize content upward in more than one way.
- •Diagram labels where an upward flow is bidirectional rather than strictly one-way.
- •Typography and design accents to add visual direction to headings or callouts.
