Leftwards Triangle-Headed Paired Arrows

⮄ is a pair of left-pointing arrows with triangular heads. In technical text or diagrams, it serves as directional notation. Its 2011–2014 encoding history belongs to an effort to expand Unicode’s arrow set and include symbols found in older Wingdings and Webdings font sets. In 2015, Unicode contributors noted that many fonts still lacked newer arrow additions, so a blank box can mean the font does not support ⮄.

Text symbol

What ⮄ means

⮄ is the leftwards triangle-headed paired arrows. Unicode classifies it as an “other symbol” — Unicode's shelf for signs that are neither maths, money nor punctuation and files it in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block; this site shelves it under Stars & signs.

Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.

How it is encoded

⮄ is a single code point, U2B84. In HTML that is ⮄, and in CSS \2B84.

Questions people ask

Why does ⮄ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
