U+21C9 "⇉" Rightwards Paired Arrows Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⇉
U+21C9 "⇉" Rightwards Paired Arrows is a typographic symbol that depicts two parallel, horizontal arrows pointing to the right, often used to represent a process of forwarding, fast forwarding, or a series of steps moving in a single direction. It can be found in mathematical notation to indicate a mapping or transformation, in user interface designs to signify fast forward or skip ahead functions, and in technical documentation to denote iteration or progression. This character belongs to the Arrows block in the Unicode standard and is distinct from a typographic double arrow, as it explicitly shows two separate arrowheads on two distinct shafts.
