What ⇉ means
It shows two separate arrows pointing right. In parallel arrows notation, both can connect the same two objects. Category theory, a branch of math about objects and relationships, uses them for distinct maps (morphisms).
Mathematical books published in 1908 helped establish arrow notation; that dates the broader notation, not this exact paired form.
Mathematical notation; clear in a formula, unclear on its own.
Do not use ⇉ for implication; is commonly used for that.

Questions people ask
1Why 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.
