What ⤋ means
⤋ is the downwards triple arrow. Unicode classifies it as a mathematical symbol and files it in the Supplemental Arrows-B block; this site shelves it under Arrows.
Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.
How it is encoded
⤋ is a single code point, U+290B. In HTML that is ⤋, and in CSS \290B.
